Imperial Settlers: Ruins

About this expansion

Imperial Settlers: Ruins is a 2017 expansion for 2–4 players with a listed play time of 90 minutes, featuring four unique common cards inspired by the base game’s Ruins card.

Each card appears in only one copy, making these ruins distinctive additions to the game. They share the familiar form of the base game Ruins common card, but their building bonuses provide different resources.

Rather than adding a large collection of new cards, Imperial Settlers: Ruins focuses on four specific discoveries. Each ruin offers its own standout bonus, giving the expansion a clearly defined set of treasures to uncover.

• Watchtower Ruins: provides a defense token.
• Armory Ruins: provides a raze token.
• Temple Ruins: provides a victory point.
• Town Ruins: provides two workers.

These four cards represent the complete contents of the expansion, with one copy of each card. Their varied bonuses include tokens, a victory point, and workers, offering a concise selection of alternative rewards compared with the base game Ruins card.

For players looking to explore the specific additions in this small Imperial Settlers release, the four ruin cards provide a focused way to expand the game’s common-card options. With its four different designs and contrasting building bonuses, Imperial Settlers: Ruins brings new treasures to the ruins theme while staying centered on a compact set of cards.
