Terra Mystica is perhaps the best strategy games out there. This expansion adds loads of new stuff and is currently available for pre-order!

If you’ve been around tabletop gaming for a while, you know Terra Mystica. It was the Gloomhaven of 2012. The sheer depth of strategy of tactics available to you within the game is leagues beyond anything else. It’s got no luck element to speak of and relies solely on player interactions and choices. It’s fantastic.

This latest expansion, Merchants of the Seas, adds plenty to the game. As you might expect, most of it is nautical. New gameplay off the starboard bow!

Using the rivers which cut through the landscape, players will be able to expand and develop in all new ways! Docks grant new ways to earn income and rewards. Shipyards unlock new actions, allowing new ways to terraform the landscape to fir your needs in ways never done before. Of course, Ships allow trading with other players’ structures for a little bit of a win/win scenario. As with Terra Mystica in general, finding that balance between helping your opponents to help yourself can tip out of your favor very quickly.

With new factions, a new double-sided board and plenty of new to score points and gain favor and power, Merchants of the Seas offers plenty of new, exciting gameplay for any Terra Mystica fan.
