Near and Far: Amber Mines

About this expansion

Near and Far: Amber Mines is a 2018 expansion for Near and Far for 2–4 players, with a listed play time of 120 minutes.

Golden amber fills the deep mines, glowing like fiery, cold embers within ancient rocks. The Arzians valued this rare substance above gold and silver, wearing it as a sign of wealth. Its forgotten secrets may reveal more about the long-dead empire and its lust for power.

This expansion adds four modular content options that can be added or removed according to your preferences. Together, they introduce new cards, town tiles, actions, and possibilities to the Near and Far experience.

• Amber Mines: Place the new Mine tile over the Mine on the town board, then explore a deck of 43 Amber Mine cards.
• Magic: Combine the new Mystic’s Hut tile with the new Mine, use the Magic Track tile, and draw from 30 Spell cards offering powerful abilities.
• New General Store: Replace the original General Store with a tile featuring slightly altered actions and another way to place camps.
• New Threat Cards: Replace the original threat deck with 13 new threat cards.

With its separate modules, Near and Far: Amber Mines lets players choose which additions to include. Explore the mysteries of amber, bring magic into the game, adjust the General Store, or refresh the threats with new cards.
