About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already into the vibe of building railways in Snowdonia, get ready, because the Isle of Man expansion brings more fuel to the fire! This little gem is exclusive to the Deluxe Master Set and not only comes with a pack of 35 cards to tweak the base game, but also introduces a brand new deck of 29 scenario cards, each with its own challenges and twists. Oh, and we can't forget an extra train card to add that special touch.
Besides the cards, the box boasts wooden components, following the same style and quality as the main game. There are 3 Sun discs, 3 Rain discs, and 3 Fog discs to add some color to the weather, plus markers for the excavation rate and track laying rate. All of this to enrich the experience and bring new ways to play the already acclaimed Snowdonia.
And there's more! The expansion also includes a leaflet with specific rules for Isle of Man and another for two mini-expansions: Twice as Nice and the promo card The Hampi Stone Chariot. So, if you're looking for new adventures and challenges in the Snowdonia universe, this expansion is a full plate for those who want to extend the playtime and explore new strategies. It's for those who already own the base game and want to give it that extra boost!
