Just picked this expansion up today. It’s one of my group’s favorite games so I can’t wait to bring this to the table. Thanks for the review.

[@dreamofempire2114]

Stoked to pick up this expansion. It’s going to bring tons more awesomeness to the game for sure

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Yes it will!

[@heathwashburn194]

Thanks for showing all the new cards and content!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Heath!

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing! Looks like a great expansion.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

It definitely is well thought out Tony!

[@SoloBoardGamingKnight]

Definitely picking this up when it releases.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Cool should be soon!

[@TheTenth666]

do you think the expansion lessens the importance of the research for getting points? I find the number of points gained in the research bar makes it a priority over exploring

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Have you played the back side of the base game map? I found that Mario much harder to move up the track so you end up doing more exploring and taking out guardians. The expansion gives even more ways to get things done and the two new exploration boards does change things up. It’s still important but I don’t think as important as the first side of the base map

[@Ltldogg69]

I cannot wait for this!!!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

I know you'll love it!

[@Ltldogg69]

@@TheGameBoyGeeks So many good expansions coming out soon including this one, Dune Imperium, Maracaibo and Tapestry!

[@jeffharned3905]

I'm with you I can't wait

[@skarpengland]

We do not understand the Professor properly. Can you use the tablets from his suitcase, to directly activate an artifact action from the archive, or only the card in your hand?

[@Endeva09]

Only your hand.

[@CharlesHepburn2]

Great... when will I actually be able to buy this?

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Miniature Market Pre-orders say it will be in stock in December.

[@stevenjudd2383]

Totally distracted by the copy of Last Light on the shelf behind you.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Ha! Awesome Steven! I'm sure Grey Fox Games smiled when they saw this comment!

[@chokedbybacklog5433]

Can this expansion be played standalone or does it only work in relation to the base game?

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

The expansion needs the base game

[@Mr1990Darkness]

Kinda disappointed you only mentioned pros and no cons because the expansion definitely has some.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

I always put cons of I have any. Just because you did doesn’t mean everyone else will. I wont play the game Without it.

[@DonAranda]

This game always looks like a big mess in the table-does it flow smoothly? Is the theme-mechanic connection very strong?

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Lots of setup but yes The it flows smoothly once you start playing and the items abs artifact cards are very thematic

[@myoman1977]

@@TheGameBoyGeeks I disagree. The theme is draped on and barely linked to mechanisms. It makes knizia look like ameritrash.

[@FeartheMalice]

Haha I am not sure if you said stupid but your face after you said that was funny because you can tell you where like why did I say stupid?!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Yup has no idea where that came from lol
