Terra Mystica: Fire & Ice has the original factions brace themselves for new competitors: Yetis – the masters of power, Ice Maidens – who adore their Temples, Acolytes – whose entire life is focused on the cults, and Dragonlords – who use their power to create volcanoes. And as if this wasn’t enough, there are two more factions, Shapeshifters and Riverwalkers, who ignore the most basic of rule of one faction, one terrain type. (Inconceivable to the Halflings!)

An expansion to one of my favorite games, whee! The additions to the general gameplay are minor, but the additional end scoring is a nice addition and a non-clockwise player order is always fun. The new races are fun as well, I am just a little disappointed in their interaction with terrain. Mostly they do not really care about it (fire) or use a slightly modified version of the vanilla races (ice). The Changelings and Riverwalkers are fun, though. What I do not recommend is playing with only one "old" race among all the new ones. It takes away some of the most interesting interactions in the game.

This blows the game wide open again and gives tons of more replayability for old Terra Mystica. The new factions break just about every rule that the original factions didn't, so they seem very versatile but not newbie-friendly. And the new board and varaible scoring are also great. For my group(s) the faction auctioning is not that critical, but I can see that also being important addition. Stored inside base game box.

Solid expansion but not great. It is not necessary to enjoy Terra Mystica. And most of the new factions are not user friendly. Mainly for the Terra Mystica super fans.
