About the game

What you do in a play session

The postal hustle doesn't stop! If you've already mastered the southern routes in Thurn and Taxis, get ready to expand your horizons (literally!) with Power and Glory. This expansion throws you straight into the north, where new postal routes await to be established between lands like Holland, Saxony, and Prussia. It's time to build more post offices and ensure important letters reach new customers quickly.

And to give this endeavor a boost, mail carriers now have the help of horses for their carriages. This not only allows for longer and safer journeys but also opens up new strategic opportunities for those seeking power and glory for their provinces. The new board introduces uncharted areas to explore, accompanied by new bonus tiles and city cards featuring the novelty of horses. If you enjoy Thurn and Taxis and want more depth and new tactical decisions, this expansion is a perfect fit to make your postal networks even more robust and impressive.
