All Social Goals Unlocked!
almost 4 years ago – Tue, May 19, 2020 at 09:25:50 AM

Hello backers,

this is a great update! You have unlocked the two remaining social goals and therefore, all the exclusive content will be added to your games!

Yesterday you unlocked Ganesh's Blessing and Kali's Offering, let's see what they are bringing...

GANESH'S BLESSING

  • Thanks to your clever answers and guesses, a very interesting new Special Rule tile will be added to the game content!

The right answer for the special rule was: "Each time the active player takes the Character tile currently belonging to an opponent, both the active player and the opponent gain 1 Prestige Point."

Congratulations to the backers who guessed it right: Daniel Newman / Michael Hines / Richard Pardoe / Bryan Leong / John Pock / Graham Glaser / Andreas / Kurt Heinemann / Andrea Passacantando / Zack / Wirgis / Mario CA (A lot of you were also very close, but little details were missing!)

  • Also, Ganesh rewards you with a new Character, which will grant you a powerful end-of-round ability: during the end of round City scoring, your Priest in the City is worth 1 extra Worship Point!

KALI'S OFFERING

Two new tiles are added to the Kickstarer Exclusive contents:

  • A new Special Rule tile: building a Statue in the central spot of a City will reward the builder with a Bonus Action token!
  • A new Reward tile, which will give you 3 Coins and add a new Shrine from the general reserve to your personal board!

Thank you for playing with us!
