Peloponnes

Heroes and Colonies

In Peloponnes, players are tasked with developing one of seven ancient civilizations in eight rounds. To achieve this, you must acquire new land and construct new buildings. This in turn causes enhancement of population, of luxury, wealth and power. You win, if you manage the best-balanced relation of population, estates and buildings. A round in the game comprises revealing of tiles, placing bids, adjusting turn order, taking possession of tiles, adapting population levels, gaining income and revealing catastrophe tokens.

In Heroes and Colonies, the founding of colonies by ancient Greece results in individual advantages and disadvantages for other civilizations. You construct buildings, acquire new land and use the advantages of your hero - a randomly assigned one out of ten. Persians and other civilizations pose threats that need to be mastered. Strength is a new hero ability; the rules of the core game apply with several changes - you draw three instead of two catastrophe chips at the end of the round. Other changes relate to strength, internal conflict, Persians and mercenaries. Sykion is a new civilization. In the version Negotiation Round, you bid coins at the start of the game to swap colony or hero with another player.

This expansion needs the core game to play and allows eight players when used with the Peloponnes Box; you can also play colonies alone without using heroes or invasion- All in all an interesting upgrade for Peloponnes, with many new features - individual player boards, Persians as joint enemy that all must fight and the internal conflict with a bonus given by the weakest player to the strongest player.
