History of the Ancient Sea Expansion I: New Markets (2nd ed.)

With the expansion “New Markets”, players have the opportunity to create a completely new distribution of merchandise. Instead of using the merchandise printed on the map players will now place the merchandise token randomly over the map. Included are a couple of options.

An open distribution and the option of placing the merchandise face down are some of the options. Players know they need a trading post with silver in order to develop a banking system. But before being able to develop “Banking” you’ll need to find the silver.

There is also an optional rule that heavily favors the powers with well developed fleets.

This expansion brings a lot of variety, fun, surprises and new strategies to “History of the Ancient Seas”.

“New Markets” is an expansion and is compatible with all three volumes of “History of the Ancient Seas”.
