Description
Efemeris: Solstice is an exciting expansion that takes the world of Efemeris to new heights, introducing three new nations to the mix: the Ottoman corsairs, the Dutch administrators, and the Portuguese inventors. These nations bring a fresh wave of strategy and excitement to the game, and players can choose to play as one of them at the start of the game. What's more, selecting one of these new nations allows players to take 0 to 3 Solstice tokens, which can give them a unique edge over their opponents. This adds a new layer of depth to the game, and with the simple rules that can be explained quickly, new players can jump right in and start exploring the possibilities. The expansion comes with 36 new crew cards, featuring characters like the Astronomer and the Commodore, which can be used to influence the game and outmaneuver opponents. With the addition of these new cards, players will need to manage their hands carefully and think strategically about which cards to play and when. The game also introduces a new 4-player Free for All mode, which is perfect for larger groups of friends or family who want to battle it out and see who comes out on top. This mode adds a new level of excitement and unpredictability to the game, as alliances can shift quickly and players will need to think on their feet to emerge victorious. With a playtime of just 30 to 40 minutes, Efemeris: Solstice is the perfect expansion for players who want to add some new excitement to their games without committing to a long, drawn-out campaign. Designed by Sergio Matsumoto and released in 2019, this expansion is a great way to breathe new life into the original Efemeris game, and with its simple rules and deep strategy, it's sure to appeal to fans of abstract strategy and territory building games. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, Efemeris: Solstice is a great way to experience the thrill of space exploration and nautical adventure in a whole new way.
