I’m mixed on this expansion. Certainly not as interesting as I’d hoped due to the utter failure of the Mayan player module. Here’s my say on each aspect. Cacao, Special Expansion Tiles, Harbour, and Special Shipping Tiles – The new expansion tiles offer cacao. You can gain this resource and use to turn a die to any face or ship via the Harbour to a Special Shipping Tile. This adds a new good to chase and ship and is easy enough to incorporate. I don’t feel it’s a must-use, but it’s OK and I would use with experienced players. GOOD New Board Extension – This removes the -2 scoring rule that seemed odd in the original and changes the rightmost monk space from get 3 happy faces to take three goods. An improvement on each and good decision to fix. GOOD New Bishop and Scholar Tiles – More tiles and variety are always good. I think these are good. Could have used more than 3 though. This is the variety this expansion should have offered. DISAPPOINTING A: The Governor – The Governor moves on your board each time you take a die of the row/column he’s standing in and he activates any building he steps on. You get or lose points depending on where he ends up. I like this one, but you don’t need this expansion to play with it. You could proxy a piece. GOOD B: The Specialists – When you take a die, you can buy a specialist and get a good of its type. It’s OK, but I don’t think the game needs it. It can make for more abundance of goods. I could use or not. MEH C: The Ambassadors – Each round two dice are placed to the side. When one player takes one, everyone else gets to use it as well. Again, you don’t need the expansion to play with this. MEH D: The Mayan Player – This is largely a solitaire game of planning against yourself on your own board. The interaction between players I was hoping for is non-existent, and the Mayan player has no shot at winning against veteran players. I mean, literally none. You don’t get endgame points the way colonist players do and simply cannot compete on the conquistador tracks once players get their harbor incomes set up. The spread was 130 to 95 to 80 (for the Mayan player). Considering how much content and rules there are, this seems like a total waste. BAD Remove the Mayan content and sell these mini modules for a third of the price and it would feel more reasonable. Not that I can't afford this expansion, but the value does not feel commensurate.

A really solid expansion to a great game. A lot of fun new modules that are not too complicated to add. And a new asymmetric side that can be played, really cool!
