If you enjoy the original Sylla and want to add some extra spice to your game nights, "Caveant Consules" is the way to go! This expansion brings a brand-new package to spice up the base game, adding new Events that can change the course of the match, brand-new Characters with unique abilities for you to recruit, and a new Great Work to compete for. The idea is precisely to bring more variety and strategic options for those who already master Sylla's rules and are looking for new challenges.
The base game is already known for its auction and voting mechanics, and this expansion stays true to that, but adds interesting layers. With the new elements, decisions about where to invest your resources and which characters to prioritize become even more crucial. The open drafting of cards and the influence of events can create unexpected situations, requiring you to adapt quickly. It's like giving your game console an upgrade: everything remains familiar, but with enhanced graphics and gameplay. Ideal for those who want to extend Sylla's lifespan and explore new combinations and tactics. If you own the original Ystari box, this expansion is a welcome addition, especially if you appreciate games with a historical touch and a good dose of player interaction. Get ready for more intense rivalries and plot twists!

Absolutely! "Caveant Consules" is an expansion, so you need to own the original Sylla game to use the new cards and components.
Does this expansion significantly change the rules of the original Sylla?

What is the playtime with the expansion?
The playtime remains similar to the base game, generally between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on player experience and the number of participants.

It adds more options and variables, which might slightly increase the perceived complexity, but it's nothing too daunting for those already familiar with Sylla. It's more about having more paths to victory.
How many players can participate with the expansion?
The expansion maintains the player count of the base game, which is for 2 to 4 players.
Is this expansion part of a larger Ystari box?
