Description:
The first ever expansion to Glenn Drover's hit game, Empires: Age of Discovery (formerly Age of Empires III). The Builder Expansion adds a new specialist, the Builder, as well as 20 new capital buildings. The expansion also increases the number of players from 5 to 6 with the addition of a full set of purple colonists.
A NEW SPECIALIST: THE BUILDER:
When placed on the colonist dock and sent to the New World it will increase the VP's scored for the region: +2 VP's/ Builder (of any color) for 1st place; +1 VP for second place. When placed in the Capital Building track, the player pays half the normal cost.
20 NEW CAPITAL BUILDINGS
These include some "buildings" that cost zero, but offer a one‐time instant effect such as $7, 2 free specialists, and 2 free trade goods. So even if a player is short on cash, a building action is available.
A RULES SHEET with the new Builder Rules, Capital Buildings, and even special rules for a historical start (Each Nation has a special ability and one or two Capital Buildings to start the game). Expands the game to 6 players with a Complete set of purple colonists.
This is an expansion. You need the base game to play.
