## Description
If you already own Speakeasy and want to take your experience to the next level, the Upgrade Pack is the way to go. This pack isn't just a cosmetic facelift, although it brings some very cool visual improvements, such as wooden leverage tokens and an embroidered cloth bag that add a premium feel to your tabletop. However, the real shine lies in the gameplay content. Ever felt like the game could use more strategic variety? Well, here you'll find a ton of new power cards: some that you use only once per act, others that last for the entire game, and even variable powers that shift the dynamics of every session. Additionally, new public goals force players to diversify their strategies, preventing the same tactic from winning every time.

For those who enjoy solo gaming, the pack sorts things out with 14 solo achievement cards, turning the single-player experience into something more challenging and rewarding. Originally, this content was part of the Kickstarter backer version, but it's now available for anyone who wants to supercharge their base game. It's the ideal choice for fans of economic management and territory control with a mafia theme, adding layers of complexity without breaking the core essence of the original game. If you're looking for more tactical depth and components that don't feel 'cheap', this upgrade is essential. Prepare your clandestine empire, organize your henchmen, and get ready to dominate New York with even more tools in your arsenal.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base game to use this pack?
Yes! This is an upgrade and expansion pack, so it doesn't work on its own; you must own the original Speakeasy.

### What are the best component upgrades?
You get 20 wooden leverage tokens, an embroidered cloth bag, and reference cards for the city docks.

### Is the solo content actually good?
Absolutely. The 14 solo achievement cards add clear goals and challenges that make the single-player experience much more engaging.

### Do these new powers change the game a lot?
They add variability. With 'once per game' or 'once per act' powers, every session will have different dynamics.
