Altay - Seafarers: expansion opens the gates to the seas and brings the ancient Waterfolk.

Altay - Seafarers, the first expansion for Altay - Dawn of Civilization, is now arriving in game stores, adding depth and variety to the deck-building civilization game. Altay is a game for two to four players that combines deck-building, civilization development, and area expansion elements to create an easy-to-play, yet challenging, experience. The Seafarers expansion introduces ships, naval combat, and an asymmetric new faction, offering players fresh strategies and high replayability.

Altay - Dawn of Civilization is set in a mythic age at the dawn of time. In a secluded region nestled deep within a vast continent, four mysterious societies have cultivated distinct cultures over countless years, maintaining a fragile balance. They now confront a new challenge: an influx of human settlers, bearing advanced crafts, weapons, techniques, and an entirely different way of life. As the leader of one of Altay’s Elder Peoples, players have the choice of how to react to this challenge.

Altay - Seafarers: new map, seafaring mechanics, and a new faction.

The expansion Seafarers introduces a brand-new game board, the Forgotten Sea, where players can establish harbors and expand their civilizations through maritime routes, new rules for shipbuilding, sailing, and naval combat, supported by fresh action cards and technologies (such as Shipwrights, Sailors, Explorers, and Astronomy), and a completely new playable faction, the Waterfolk. This new people can move across the seas without needing ships and are able to extract precious resources from the ocean depths thanks to special characters, the Wavebender and the Wavesinger. The Waterfolk faction comes with a new starting deck and a new set of printed wooden buildings, for an entirely different playstyle, combining flexibility, resource control, and manipulation of discarded actions.
