Cyclades

Description

Cyclades: Hecate is an exciting expansion that adds a new layer of strategy to the Cyclades game series, building upon the foundations laid by the base game and its other expansion, Cyclades: Hades. Released in 2011, this expansion is the brainchild of renowned game designers Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc, and is designed for 2 to 5 players who are familiar with board games. With a playtime of around 90 minutes, Cyclades: Hecate offers a moderately complex gameplay experience that will challenge and engage players. The Hecate expansion introduces a new divine favor tile, columns, and cloth bags, which are used to represent the goddess Hecate's influence on the game world. With Hecate, players can receive a free Priestess card, and for a mere 2 gold pieces, they can connect two different islands with an underground passage, allowing troops to move between them without needing fleets. This new ability adds a fresh layer of complexity to the game, as players must navigate the opportunities and risks presented by Hecate's favor. The fact that these columns can be moved again for 2 gold pieces when Hecate returns to play adds a layer of depth to the game, as players must weigh the benefits of establishing a network of underground passages against the cost of maintaining them. The gameplay mechanics of Cyclades: Hecate, including area majority, auction, dice rolling, and card drafting, all come together to create a thrilling experience that will appeal to fans of ancient civilizations, city building, and mythology. As an expansion for the Cyclades base game and its Hades expansion, Cyclades: Hecate offers a new perspective on the world of Cyclades, and is sure to provide hours of entertainment for players who enjoy strategic gameplay and a touch of mythological flair. With its engaging mechanics and immersive theme, Cyclades: Hecate is a must-have expansion for anyone looking to enhance their Cyclades experience.
