Boardgames - Monumental - Lost Kingdoms

The Lost Kingdoms not only comes with the aforementioned new kingdoms to command, but also new terrain tiles, new wonders, and components for a fifth player. The new terrain tiles all add some kind of minor effect to the game, such as a bridge that can only allows access to tiles on either side of it or the jungle that requires an extra resource for an explorer to move onto it.

While the new cards and tiles are nice, the real star of the show are the four new empires. Each does something unique to set them apart. The Aztecs let you sacrifice your soldiers for resources, while the Amazons have a brand new resource they can use in the form of horses. Then there are the Atlanteans, who are masters of science and actually have a separate row for their science cards, called the nexus, that pulls them out of their city. Finally, there are the Mughals, which use their cultural policies completely different. They are actually placed in rows and columns around their city to be activated like normal city cards.
