Thebai: Contracts promo

Product detailed description

This is a promotional expansion. Requires the base game of Thebai to play.

Upgrade your experience in Thebai with the Contracts Promo, a mini-expansion featuring 6 all-new contract cards that open up fresh possibilities, strategic trade-offs, and final scoring decisions.

These contract cards can be shuffled directly into the base deck during setup and add unique effects that give players more flexibility and risk-reward dynamics throughout the game. The promo also introduces a new scoring rule: during final scoring, you may only count one suit per promo contract fulfilled—encouraging more careful planning and synergy.

• Spend Pottery and Bronze to activate the Cadmea tile your Archon is standing on.
• Trade resources to immediately draw and fulfill a contract (no rewards, but counts for scoring).
• Lose devotion to gain strong combos like bonus commodities, VP, or double tile effects.
• Make powerful one-time sacrifices for long-term benefits.

Perfect for players who enjoy expanding their decision space and optimizing endgame scoring, this promo adds an elegant layer of tactical depth to your Thebai sessions.

In Thebai, players assume the role of influential leaders from noble families during the tumultuous late Bronze Age. Throughout the game, players are tasked with rebuilding the Cadmea, the citadel of Thebes, while restoring the city’s exports, praying to the gods of the city, and protecting the lives of the citizens as grand heroes spill each other’s blood outside the gates.
