![]() The Falconer owns an eagle which moves on its own board. The more he plays his archaeologists on the board, the more resources his card play will give him access to. If he manages to get rid of it, he gains a free compass and a Fear. He has permanent access to the still unhired assistants, cards which allow him to cover travel costs more easily, while he also starts with a hidden fear. The Captain plays with three archaeologists instead of two. Some require a better understanding of the game to play efficiently, thus they are presented in order of increasing difficulty. ![]() The new expansion introduces asymmetry, with six different roles on offer. The Lizard Temple goes even further and places a guardian in the research track, allows the destruction of an already discovered Level One location (and its potential rediscovery as a brand new location), etc. Progress is different, with effects that were not encountered before, like a random, yet permanently fixed artifact on the track, higher mobility of the yet-to-be-hired assistants, etc. As an example, in the Monkey temple a player may now invest in end-game point research even if he hasn't reached the end of the research track. The two new Research tracks (the Monkey Temple and the Lizard Temple) are both similar and different to the ones of the base game. Instead of burning one card of each type at the end of a round, players burn two, thus creating a sense of urgency about obtaining cards. The Red Moon Staff variant makes the item and the artifact deck run faster. Expect new combinations of resources and processes that did not exist in the base game, new powers (like activating idols on the board without taking them), etc. All new elements have a distinguishing mark, thus, if at any point one wishes to enjoy the base game as it was before the expansion, he can easily remove them. Gameplay: The new items, artifacts, assistants, sites, guardians and idols can be added to the game without including the leaders. In addition to the 24-page English rulebook which can also be downloaded from the publisher's website free of charge, the game includes the following: 18 Item cards, 12 Artifact cards, 5 Level One tiles, 3 Level Two tiles, 3 Assistant tiles, 4 Idol tiles, 5 Guardian tiles, one Moon Staff, one Research Board, 6 Expedition Leader boards, 4 starting cards per expedition leader, one Archaeologist, one Eagle tile, one Suitcase tile, 3 Snack tokens, 6 Player Aids (one per leader), 6 Role tokens, and 4 Tent tiles. The expansion does not alter the number of players, even though it has an effect on the playing time. ![]() One year after its publication, the base game sits comfortably on BGG's top-50. It is reminded that the base game can accommodate from one to four players, and lasts from 30 minutes to one hour per player.

In addition to the leader abilities, which bring a new element of asymmetry to the game, this expansion also contains alternative research tracks that offer even more variety and a bigger challenge, along with new item and artifact cards to create new combos and synergies. Give your expedition an edge by choosing one of six unique leaders, each equipped with different abilities, skills, and starting decks that offer different strategies and styles of play for you to explore. ![]() Review Summary: Few expansions have changed their base game as profoundly as this one.īlurb from the publisher: 'Return to the mysterious island of Arnak in this new expansion: Expedition Leaders! ![]()
