📖 About This Game

The Ambelau expansion adds seven discrete modules to expand and deepen your games of Buru, including a new board/region, multiple mini-expansions, and the option for a fifth player.  These modules may be used individually or in any combination. Included in this expansion are: - Fifth Player Module: All the components required to add a fifth player to the game. - Ukum Module: The spirit Ukum represents justice and order in Buru. Players pay tribute to Ukum by exiling those who violate the natural law — especially Outcasts, a new type of Islander. - Ambelau Module: The lush volcanic island of Ambelau is just a short trip from Buru. Players may send Explorers to this new region in canoes, where new action spaces await. Ambelau actions let you collect resources, gather fish, recruit Guides, and pay tribute to Ibu, the spirit of growth and life. - Lawan Module: Solo options are included for everything in this expansion. -Tokoh Module: Introduce leaders to your expeditions with asymmetrical starting positions and exclusive special actions for each player that may be taken in lieu of region actions. -Blessings Module: Seeking a strong bond with the newcomers, the inhabitants of the island offer support to those most in need - specifically, those with the lowest bid in each region. -Liaisons Module: The Majapahit King sends a special diplomat with each party, offering a chance at a second action in the same region - but only if the Liaisons don't undermine each other's efforts!
