About the game
This expansion includes 4 new power tiles: - Intruder: The Intruder power makes you play a rebel card in any capital district without triggering the power. - Vector: The Vector power makes you draw a negative card into your hand. - Architect: Take one Architect tile and add it to your home base sheet. Whenever you complete the mission on the tile, you receive 2 gold and discard the tile. - Experimenter: This power makes you draw one Experimenter card into your hand. A 1-valued card makes you trigger a capital power even when you play it in your home base, while a 7-valued card never triggers any power. In addition to this, the expansion also includes components for a 5th player, as well as 4 new Mentalist tiles to add to the base game.
