Terra Mystica: Merchants of the Seas Expansion

Enter a new era of trade and expansion with Merchants of the Seas. Each faction - including the Ice, Volcano, and Variable factions from the first expansion Fire & Ice - now has the option to build a Shipyard, as well as new Ships to embark on voyages toward valuable territory and lucrative trades.

While most factions pursue seafaring, the Fakirs and Dwarves prefer to stay on land. Instead of Shipyards and Ships, each can build a Market and send Merchants on profitable journeys. Like Ships, Merchants can be moved as an action and can help extend a faction's reach to distant lands, as well as engage with other factions for commercial benefits.

The factions of Terra Mystica exist in a delicate balance, but their relative strengths differ with the distribution of terrain. Merchants of the Seas includes a double-sided game board with two new maps (Lakes and Fjords) so your faction can really take advantage of the waterways, but it also includes new Starting Victory points tables for all five Terra Mystica maps. Factions will start with different Victory points to account for their advantages or disadvantages on a given board, so your games can be balanced no matter the lay of the land.
