About the game
What you do in a play session
What actually changes in the game? The expansion adds extra layers of strategy. You can now upgrade your workers (similar to the dice upgrades), recruit specialized traders, and compete for influence over the new red guild. Speaking of guilds, the arrival of the fourth minaret (the Red one) shakes up the area control dynamics, creating a new strategic point to spend your influence and attempt to dominate the region.
To make everything more dynamic, Tides of Trade adds new trader tiles and overseer townsfolk, bringing powerful actions that can turn the tide of the game. Additionally, every deck from the base game receives a flurry of new cards, injecting more variety and unpredictability into your sessions. If you love expert games with heavy management, worker placement, and that feeling of civilization building, this expansion is the spice needed to make the experience even denser and more rewarding. It's more depth, more options, and, of course, more competition!
