About the game
The first expansion for Manhattan! More actions in Manhttan... Your little 1-level pieces will be more interesting now! Everytime you place a little building on the board, you will get an action card. You must play it as soon as possible, or somebody will take it from you! There are two modules: Festival en Manhattan (Festival in Manhattan): 2 rules cards + 5 action cards Un monstruo en Manhattan (A monster in Manhattan): 1 rule card + 1 monster card (to cut-and-play, and using the starting player token) - This expansion was included in the Mayfair old edition, but only as a variant rule. Now you have components and a real monster to destroy the buildings. The art is based on the modern edition (Manddo Games), but the cards can be played and are compatible with all the editions of the game. Promo expansions celebrating Karen & Amdreas Seyfarth as special guests at the XIV Festival Internacional de Juegos Córdoba 2019. —description from the publisher Ahora los bloques de 1 planta van a ser más atractivos, porque te darán acceso a nuevas acciones en las manzanas de Manhattan. Gira tu carta, bloquea una acción rival, roba una carta a alguien, suma una planta a tu pieza, puntúa tu barrio... ¡Y dejad de pisar mi edificio! Además un gigantesco monstruo arrasa la ciudad. Los rascacielos tiemblan, pero lo cierto es que a la vez que construyes, tienes el control sobre el movimiento de la criatura. Lo malo es que no eres la única persona con poder sobre ella... Hay dos módulos: Festival en Manhattan: 2 cartas de reglas + 5 cartas de acción Un monstruo en Manhattan: 1 carta de reglas + 1 cata recortable (se monta sobre la pieza de jugador inicial) - Esta expansión se incluía solo como variante de reglas en la edición de Mayfair del juego. Ahora se presenta con un monstruo de verdad para destruir los edificios. Incluye dos variantes de reglas: Monstruo Kong y Monstruo Zilla. Expansión promocional y gratuita celebrando la visita de Karen & Seyfarth como invitados especiales del XIV Festival Internacional de Juegos Córdoba 2019.
