Get ready to dive back into the world of Buru with the Ambelau expansion, a thrilling addition to the base game that's packed with new content to explore. Designed by Stephen Wren, Alex Flagg, Taran Lewis Kratz, and Jonny Pac, this 2024 release is perfect for 1 to 5 players looking for a fun and immersive experience that'll keep you engaged for 60 to 90 minutes. The game's normal complexity makes it easy for board game enthusiasts to pick up, and the variety of modules on offer means you can customize your gameplay experience to suit your style. The Ambelau expansion introduces a wealth of new features, including a brand new board and region to discover, as well as multiple mini-expansions that can be mixed and matched to create a unique experience each time you play. You'll have the chance to send Explorers to the lush volcanic island of Ambelau, where new action spaces await, and pay tribute to the spirit of growth and life, Ibu. The expansion also includes a fifth player module, so you can invite a friend to join in on the fun, as well as solo options and the introduction of leaders with asymmetrical starting positions and exclusive special actions. With the Lawan module, you can even play solo, taking on the challenges of the island alone. As you explore the new content, you'll encounter a range of exciting mechanics, including action drafting, auction bidding, contracts, and end game bonuses. The Tokoh module introduces leaders with unique abilities, while the Blessings module offers support to those in need, and the Liaisons module brings a new level of strategy with the introduction of special diplomats. With so much to discover, the Ambelau expansion is the perfect way to breathe new life into your Buru games and experience the thrill of exploration and economic management in a medieval setting. Whether you're a seasoned fan of the base game or just looking for a new challenge, this expansion has something for everyone.
