So their cards are a lot easier to raze then others.īut the main feature here is the prayer mechanic, which I thought was a great addition to the game. Interestingly, the Aztec faction stores stone on its faction board, and is the only faction to not gain a defense token during production. They feel a lot more in line with the core factions of Imperial Settlers, yet still different enough to have a good amount of variety. To be honest, I thought they were just OK and they were rarely the first faction I’d reach for when we played. The previous Imperial Settlers expansion, the Atlanteans was really different from the core factions. I really liked the new prayer mechanic in the Aztec faction. Alternately, the blessing token will provide a +1 bonus if they decide to draw cards. When a player takes the prayer action, instead of drawing, they may use their blessing token as if they drew one card of the color desired.
These tokens are a new type of good that is used with the prayer action. Update: I’ve received word from Portal Games that the misprint only affected a small number of copies released at Essen, and that every copy being sold now should have the correct cards.įinally the only other component of note are the blessing tokens. Portal Games is offering to send you a replacement card for a penny. The Bob the Priest card belongs to the Egyptian faction, however the card back was mistakenly printed with the Japanese faction art. Players should also be aware of a card misprint.
Notably however, the expansion doesn’t include any new common cards or solo play cards. The Aztec expansion also comes with 10 cards for each of the game’s previous factions, most of which incorporate this new prayer mechanic. Some Prayer actions require you to guess a color before drawing, while others will let you choose the relevant color afterwards. In that case, you’d draw the top 5 cards from the common deck, hoping for pink cards. For example, a card might say “Pray 5: Gain 1 worker for each pink card drawn”. Prayer lets the player gain resources, workers, or other items by drawing cards off the top of the deck. However, the main thing that the Aztec faction introduces is a new Prayer mechanic. Prayer tokens can either be used to boost a prayer action, or to avoid drawing. Notably, the sets from 3 is the Magic Number, the Open Production locations from Why Can’t We Be Friends, and the Gear resources from The Atlanteans. Not only are the standard Production/Feature/Action cards here, but Aztecs also incorporates concepts from the previous 3 expansions. Imperial Settlers: Aztecs comes with a 60 card faction deck for this new group. Today, we are going to take a look at the 6th and newest faction for Imperial Settlers, The Aztecs. Since its premiere, Imperial Settlers has released 2 small box expansions ( Why Can’t We Be Friends, 3 is the Magic Number) and one new faction ( Atlanteans).

You can read our full review of Imperial Settlers here, but suffice to say, we love it. It combines unique factions, engine building, and multi-use cards, all mechanics that I love in card games. Imperial Settlers has been one of my favorite card games since its debut in 2014.
