Earth: Abundance
Earth: Abundance is an expansion for Earth that allows you to enhance the rich gameplay of the award-winning board game with new player interactions and opportunities to curate your hand.
Gameplay
You are going to build your own tableau, a four by four grid of cards that is called your ‘island’. On your turn you’re going to choose one of four actions. The other players perform a weaker version of the same action. After resolving the action all players activate any abilities on cards in their tableau or on their player board. You can only activate cards that match the colour of the chosen action. When you activate cards in your tableau it must be done from top left to bottom right. So it does matter where you play your cards, adding to the puzzly nature of the game.
The expansion adds an ability to use seeds to find special cards for objectives. There is also a possibility of taking more cubes than you can place without any rules overhead.
Summarised
The tutoring mechanics are just great, you can search for virtually any card feature, which tremendously helps with objectives and reduces draw randomness. You can play with this expansion from the first play. Highly recommended for the real fans of the base game. There is a lot of flexibility. Some of the cards that allow you to have more benefits just adds so much more to the game play. A must have expansion if you own the base game.
