Base Game The Great Wall

Contains 12 new Advisors

4 of the new Advisors are based on mythical beasts and come with meeples/miniatures, depicting statues of these fantastic creatures. The Player, who buys one of them, may place the miniature in a dedicated place on the board to gain new, powerful benefits. The location it will be placed is crucial, so it is essential to plan it right!

The Qilin, as a symbol of prosperity, allows gathering additional wood, gold, stones, or Meditation from a chosen Location. Qilin is like an extraordinary Clerk - it does not need any empty slot, and when it is removed from the board, you may place a regular Clerk in its place for free.

Yinglong, a mighty winged dragon, inspires your soldiers. You place Yinglong on a chosen Wall Section - it lets you gather your forces in this place instantly. Additionally, Soldiers in Yinglong presence fight with great zeal, counting as two when gaining Honor for defeated Hordes!

Spirit Turtle, a sacred shelled beast, blesses your army with resilience, lowering your losses on a Wall Sections. How? Your Soldiers will not die here!

Finally, Fenghuang, a blessed bird, is a symbol of virtue. Exchange all your Overseers for Fenghuang and put it on a chosen Location. It will act as triple Overseer of the maximum level in this Location. Additionally, your former Overseers will go back to your pool, so you can recruit them again in the Barracks!

Other 8 Advisors are similar to Advisors from the core game, but in the case of the essential mechanics, the more the better - more options and more replayability (but the base game offers tons of options).

Here are a few examples:

Let your Cavalry to move freely between Walls!

Get more precious Honor if you are a leader!

Take 1 Artifact and make it your own!

Ignore the Honor penalty when you activate Location on your own!

8 new Tactic cards

2 new types of Tactic card (4 copies of each) will change your strategy.

Here are your new options during battles:

Hold the Line! - it rewards cooperation: all players that protect the Wall Section gain additional Honor. But, of course, you'll gain the best benefit ;)

Wipeout - raise the stakes! If you win, your Soldiers can attack again this turn! If not, they'll die.

“Ancient Chronicle” Game Modes

6 new “Ancient Chronicle” Game Modes add further challenges for your game. Plan on how to get an advantage against other clans using new rules introduced during each Year of the game.

More themes and background stories, more exciting brand new special rules, buildings, setup changes and so on.

10 Relics

Players will gain a new option of scoring - they may use new type of cards: Relics. Relics are similar to Artifacts, but:

You can upgrade them, so they'll grant better benefits for all (but you also give a signal to your opponents that you're interested in this Relic),

You will gain the rewards according to the place won on this Relic - the first place will gain the best bonus, the second a little worse, and so on.

Some of the Relics may activated in each Year, not only at the end of the game
