Description
Aristeia!: Masters of Puppets is an exciting expansion to the base game Aristeia!, bringing two new characters to the table: Fiddler and Gaia. These highly-skilled women have a passion for cyber-electronics and are masters of their own destiny. Fiddler, a former activist from Ariadna, found solace in a nomadic trade mission where she could hone her engineering skills and transform her physical appearance. She's now a lethal fighter in the world of Aristeia!, using her Jackbots to deal damage and control the game. Gaia, on the other hand, is a robotics whiz from Varuna who was discovered by the high spheres and invited to fight in Aristeia!. She's a controller support who offers her team unprecedented mobility and can hinder her enemies with her Gorgoneions. The introduction of Fiddler and Gaia brings a new level of strategy to the game, with their unique abilities and robotic devices allowing them to take control of the HexaDome like never before. The game rules are simple and easy to explain, making it accessible to new players, but the depth of gameplay is still there, with complex mechanics like action points, area majority, and variable player powers. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the world of Aristeia!, navigating the grid and rolling dice to outmaneuver your opponent. The game is designed for two players, making it a perfect duel of wits and strategy. As the game designer Alberto Abal and coordinator Jesús Fuster envisioned, Gaia and Fiddler take control to a whole new level, introducing a fresh mechanic that will impact players in a big way. The Masters of Puppets expansion adds a new layer of excitement to the base game, with Fiddler's Jackbots and Gaia's Gorgoneions offering a new way to exercise control over the game. Whether you're a fan of science fiction, sports, or miniatures, Aristeia!: Masters of Puppets has something for everyone, and with its simple rules and deep gameplay, it's an expansion that will keep you coming back for more.
