About the game
Explore a 60 minute game of Land vs Sea with 24 new tiles with new shapes, new artwork and 3 new scoring mechanisms. This expansion takes the modular Land vs Sea game from light to medium weight. Menhirs - Score the bonus points on tiles in 'ley lines' you form between distant Menhirs. Can you triangulate Menhirs to score more? Cities - Connect City tiles to land and sea areas to double the bonus point values in them, and the end game scoring value of trade routes connected to them. All the more reason to complete rivals' areas! Bandits and Pirates - Score by raiding trade routes (pirates raid ships bandits raid caravans) throughout the game. Do you lower your risk by making a variety of smaller trade routes, or push trade routes longer to increase their risk and rewards? Start scoring immediately with 1 of 4 large starting tile faces pre-filled with different scoring elements. —description from the publisher
