The Acts returns with the all new Letters from Rome expansion. Compatible with both the first edition and deluxe edition copies of the base game, Letters from Rome offers new strategies for adding believers as you can now travel all the way to Italia on your mission. Along with a sideboard depicting Italia as a seventh accessible region, there are epistles that can be delivered, tithes generated by churches, and more to take into account as you spread the word. Letters from Rome remains a tight, worker placement game with multiple paths to victory. In addition to the actions from the base game, players can now gain coins as tithes from their churches, and collect epistles for both immediate rewards and set collection end game bonuses. Coins can be used to book passage to Rome, enlarge your churches, and to feed and care for the crowds while preaching. Beware, hording coins can lead to corruption, costing you believers over time. Take on the added challenges as you spread from Judea throughout the Roman Empire to share the gospel message. Although true to the Bible, no Biblical knowledge is required to play and enjoy. -description from designer
