Hey everyone! Ready to spice up your "Welcome To..." experience? These additions bring two new thematic neighborhoods to shake up your games. First up is "Easter Egg Hunt," where the main goal is to grab eggs to boost your score. Think about collecting as many eggs as possible to secure that sweet bonus at the end. It's a lighter take, focused on collection optimization.
Then we have the "Doomsday Thematic Neighborhood," plunging you into a more intense situation: an impending nuclear apocalypse! The mission here is to save as many people as you can. The twist is that when you build houses with bunkers, you save people equal to the house number. And that's not all: at the end of the game, whoever saved the most people on each street gets bonus points. It's a race against time and your neighbors, with a much more dramatic theme.
And for those who enjoy playing solo or want an extra challenge, there's a new solo mode! Now you can face off against an architect from AAA company. This expansion is perfect for those who already love the "Welcome To..." series and want more variety, whether for playing with friends on themed nights (Easter or doomsday, who knows?) or for testing your skills against the game in solo mode. The flip-and-write, bingo, and pattern-building mechanics remain strong, ensuring that familiar and addictive gameplay we know and love. It's guaranteed fun for up to 50 players, but it also shines in a solitary session!

Do I need the base game "Welcome To..." to play with these expansions?
Yes, absolutely! These are thematic expansions and a new solo mode, so you need the base game "Welcome To..." to use them.
How many players can play with these expansions?
The player count remains the same as the base game, which supports 1 to 50 players. The expansion adds more options but doesn't change the player limit.
Does the game become more complicated with these new options?
The overall complexity doesn't increase much. The new rules for the thematic neighborhoods are quite straightforward and easy to learn, keeping the experience accessible.
What is the average playtime with these expansions?
The playtime stays around 25 minutes, similar to the base game. The addition of new neighborhoods doesn't significantly lengthen the duration.
What's different about the solo mode?
In the solo mode, you face a simulated 'architect' from AAA company. It's a challenge to test your skills and optimize your score against a virtual opponent.
Are the components just cards and paper sheets?
Yes, just like the base game, the main components are neighborhood sheets to fill out (paper and pencil) and cards that determine actions. The expansions add new neighborhood sheets and possibly some thematic cards.
Is it worth buying if I already own the base game?
If you enjoy the "Welcome To..." mechanics and are looking for more thematic variety or an enhanced solo challenge, then yes! The new neighborhoods offer interesting dynamics, and the solo mode is a great addition.
