About the game
Game description from the publisher: Lupin the 3rd: The Expansion #1 includes two new adventures for Lupin III in search of priceless treasures: Julius Caesar's golden coins and Excalibur, King Arthur's sword. In order to steal them, the gang must face tireless Inspector Zenigata again, who has made their capture his reason for existence. This expansion integrates with the base game and increases the possibilities and the strategies with new equipment, vehicles and rules that can also be used in the base game. The characters' characteristics are strengthened and renewed with new cards, including five special cards which make Lupin more elusive, Jigen more infallible, Goemon more inflexible, Zenigata more stubborn, and Fujiko more unreliable and undressed than ever. A milestone of the new imperfect cooperative game style, Lupin the 3rd shows in these new missions a variable and unpredictable structure for a profound and unique game experience!
