About this expansion

Darwin’s Journey: Falmouth Port Mini-Expansion is a 2023 expansion for 1–4 players, with a playing time of approximately 120 minutes. It adds a new mechanism centered on redeeming Special Ship pieces and Horses by completing Objective tiles.

When unlocked, a Special Ship replaces one of your Ships on the Ocean track, while a Horse replaces one of your Explorers. Each special piece introduces a corresponding space that must be covered by placing a roof over it.

  • Complete Objective tiles to redeem Special Ship pieces and Horses.
  • Replace a Ship on the Ocean track with a Special Ship.
  • Replace an Explorer with a Horse.
  • Use the roof tiles’ depicted actions to advance the special pieces.

One roof shows a Correspondence Action, and the other shows an Academy Action. Whenever you perform the action depicted on the corresponding roof tile, you may advance your Special Ship or Horse by 1–4 spaces by paying 1–4 coins.

After completing the advancement, you gain the bonus action associated with that roof tile. This creates a focused way to connect Objective tiles, action selection, coins, and movement on the relevant track.

Darwin’s Journey: Falmouth Port Mini-Expansion adds these special-piece objectives and action-linked advances to the game while keeping its new rules centered on two distinctive rewards: the Special Ship and the Horse.
