Description
Get ready to take your Monuments experience to the next level with Monuments: Heroes, Traders, and Science, an exciting expansion pack that introduces new ways to earn victory points and enhance your gameplay. This expansion is designed for 2 to 4 players and can be learned quickly, thanks to its simple rules that can be explained in no time. In just 60 minutes, you'll be immersed in a world of ancient wonders, competing to build the most impressive monuments and earn the most victory points. The expansion introduces three new tokens - Helmets, Ships, and Scrolls - each representing a different aspect of ancient civilization: Heroes, Traders, and Science. These tokens can be bought using an action, provided you have the majority of the matching symbol in your display, and they offer unique features that can be used once per turn. For example, the Helmets token allows you to buy an additional card for just 1 victory point, while the Ships token lets you trade one of your cards with an open card. The Scrolls token is particularly powerful, as it lets you change the order of monument cards when expanding a monument. Each token is worth 2 victory points immediately, and a whopping 3 additional victory points at the end of the game. With Monuments: Heroes, Traders, and Science, you'll experience a fresh twist on the original Monuments: Wonders of Antiquity game, designed by Stefan Risthaus. The expansion's card drafting and action point mechanics add a new layer of strategy to the game, making it even more engaging and fun for players. Whether you're a seasoned Monuments player or new to the series, this expansion is sure to bring new excitement and challenges to the table. Published in 2009, Monuments: Heroes, Traders, and Science is a must-have for fans of the series, and its short playtime makes it easy to fit into your gaming schedule.
