About Rebirth II, from BoardGameGeek:
Far from Scotland, the old world fell into greater devastation. Survivors make their way back to their ancient homelands to found self-governing city states in place of the nations that failed them. Lead an Order of Oracles dedicated to serving them all: restore the farmland, settle the cities and uncover ancient mysteries buried beneath the ravaged lands.
Rebirth II presents two new standalone maps: Greece and Italy. The tile laying heart of Rebirth remains the same; players draw a tile and then place it on the board, but each map takes the Rebirth spirit into a new direction. Both maps make use of the new City-State system, where the map is split into various self-governing regions.
Greece focuses on open-endedness and flexibility. The map features no distinct spaces defining where food farms and energy farms must be placed. Players, through the new "Exploration tokens" system, have the opportunity to modify the map as the game plays, creating varying play scenarios each game. Players exert influence on the City-States, establishing Temples, and scoring a large number of points for being the only ones with a significant hold within each City-State.
Italy focuses on the individual powers of each city state. When players place settlements within a city-state, they are able to elect an Arbitrer within that city-state's government, gaining the ability of that particular state. In the meantime, visiting monasteries across the map grants players a blessing, granting them a one time effect. Both blessings and Arbitrers' positions refresh and reset dynamically through player's actions, creating a player-controlled cadence for the progress of play.
