Islebound: Metropolis (Expansion)

Islebound: Metropolis is an expansion for the strategic board game Islebound, designed by Ryan Laukat and published by Red Raven Games. This expansion introduces new building cards and reputation cards, enhancing the game's depth and strategic options.

Key Features:

• New Building Cards: The expansion adds 40 new building cards, each offering unique bonuses. These cards are distinguished by an orange sunset background and are placed in an additional row above the standard building cards. To acquire these buildings, players must meet specific requirements, such as having a certain number of books, and must also possess at least one standard building for each Metropolis building they own.
• Increased Renown: Each Metropolis building is worth +1 renown, making them more valuable than the base buildings. This addition encourages players to balance the construction of standard and Metropolis buildings to maximize their renown.
• New Reputation Cards: The expansion includes 2 new reputation cards, providing additional opportunities for players to earn renown and further diversifying strategic choices.

Gameplay Enhancements:

By incorporating Metropolis buildings, players can develop more complex strategies, balancing the acquisition of standard and Metropolis buildings to optimize their renown and overall game performance. The stricter requirements for Metropolis buildings add a layer of challenge, requiring players to plan their actions carefully to meet the necessary conditions.

Compatibility:

Islebound: Metropolis is designed to be played with the base game Islebound. It can also be combined with other expansions to further enrich the gameplay experience.
