Terra Mystica: Merchants of the Seas

An expansion that introduces riverborne trade and ship movement to the base game. Players build and upgrade a shipyard to produce ships, then sail those ships along rivers to trade with other factions, deliver to buildings for victory points and resources, or perform actions like digging and constructing Dwellings in adjacent hexes. Ships grant new tactical movement options while interacting with existing power and building mechanics. The box adds faction-specific shipyard boards, new round scoring tiles, Favor and bonus tiles, additional power actions and town tiles, and two new maps. Content integrates with the base game and supports optional inclusion of previously released factions.
