About the game
In Coloma: New Prospects, the game becomes deeper and wider, with heavier mechanisms, more sophisticated engine-building, and added paths to victory. It also flips the script on the Boom/Bust system — making it so players want different outcomes depending on what’s at stake. Additions include: Player Board Extensions and Waterfall Tiles - Each player board is now extended to include a network of wilderness trails to explore. Each time you Bust, you may advance one space. To trailblaze a safe path loaded with valuable bonuses, you can add Waterfall tiles (which replace the Rivers from the core game). All-New Decks of Cards - Each player gets a completely new deck of Town cards to replace the ones from the core game. These cards offer a variety of advanced engine-building mechanisms. New Rotating Barker Tile - The rotating magnetic Barker tile is replaced with a new one that offers more ways to gain Barrels from the Outlaws. It also brings Buster into the multiplayer game. —Description from the publisher
