Z-Man Games announced a new
mini-expansion for
Uwe Rosenberg's most recent magnum opus,
A Feast For Odin. The
new expansion has 2 new double sided exploration boards, allowing players to travel to Lofoten, the Ornkey Islands, or even Tierra del Fuego. Each board has more spaces for points, bonuses or plundered goods, and the Ornkey Islands even comes with a bonus weapon card to boost hunting or trading. Read more about the mini-expansion on
Z-Man's website here.
Tea and Trade from
Z-Man Games will be the first expansion for
Uwe's hidden gem,
Fields of Arle (2014).
Fields of Arle is a true
Rosenberg gem, complete with multiple resource types, space to clear fields and build structures, tons of different spots for worker placement, and of course the need to feed your people. Often regarded as one of
Uwe's best,
Fields of Arle was a 2 player only sleeper hit, now playable with 3 using the new expansion. The
Tea and Trade expansion will unsurprisingly add tea as an upgradeable resource to the lands of East Frisia. Tea has the unique property of invigorating your workers, making them act as if they were more skillful then they are, and can even allow workers to act twice. A new action, digging ditches, makes draining the moors and clearing peat bogs easier, and can make the land more productive. Finally, a new harbor board allows you to take to the sea, trading and upgrading your resources or collecting more food from the bounty of the sea. Read the
