Troyes: The Ladies of Troyes is the most fun expansion for the classic medieval strategy game. It introduces three new character cards – each representing an influential lady of the city – and a unique purple die that symbolizes the family head. What changes is that you can move your guard along the ramparts to access 16 new activities outside the city, in addition to the ones already present. The purple die gives the player the freedom to choose between civil, military, or religious actions, keeping the tension of who will conquer more territory. The expansion also adds 27 activity cards and six event cards, offering even more variety and chances for twists. The worker‑with‑dice placement system stays intact, but now there are more action options and more hidden victory points to discover. In terms of gameplay, the expansion keeps the 2‑to‑4 player, 90‑minute balance and the same learning curve. If you love the blend of strategy, luck, and influence, you’ll fall in love with the new characters and the new ways to control territory. It’s the perfect way to upgrade your board without losing the essence that made Troyes a hit.

For those who already know the base game, the expansion is a great invitation to try new tactics: use the purple die to gain advantage in events or to block your opponents’ progress. The new event cards create unexpected situations, forcing you to rethink your choices each round. The experience remains fun and strategic, with a pace that keeps all players engaged.

In short, if you want to add more excitement, variety and depth to your Troyes game, this expansion is what you need. It brings new cards, new rules and, above all, more chances to conquer the city and its glory.
