Crisis: The New Economy

About this expansion

Crisis: The New Economy is a 15-card expansion for Crisis, designed for 1–5 players with a listed play time of 120 minutes. Set in Axia, it introduces new commercial opportunities amid crisis and an inefficient, bureaucratic government.

Local entrepreneurs are developing new technologies, while others seek ways to benefit society and the environment. For the right investor, these ideas can become lucrative opportunities, adding fresh possibilities to the base game.

The expansion contains 15 new Company cards. During setup, shuffle these cards together and randomly choose 5–8 of them. Their equivalent replacement cards are then removed from the game, after which setup continues as it does in Crisis.

• 15 new Company cards
• 5–8 cards selected randomly for each game
• New routes to money, victory points, and resources
• A variant offering quicker access to the 5th Manager token

Because the available companies can change from game to game, The New Economy adds more variability and replayability without changing the core setup process. The selected cards can shape which opportunities are available and provide different ways to pursue money, VP, and resources.

For players seeking additional variety in their Crisis sessions, Crisis: The New Economy expands the company pool with new technologies, socially and environmentally beneficial ideas, and an optional variant for a faster route to the 5th Manager token. Released in 2018, it offers a compact addition to the Axian economy.
