Terra Mystica: Fire & Ice

About this expansion

Terra Mystica: Fire & Ice is a board game for 2–5 players with an approximate play time of 100 minutes, released in 2014.

The original factions must brace themselves for a new wave of competitors. These newcomers bring distinctive identities to the world, from masters of power and devoted temple-builders to factions whose lives revolve around cults.

Among the new arrivals are the Yetis, described as masters of power, and the Ice Maidens, who adore their Temples. The Acolytes focus their entire lives on the cults, while the Dragonlords use their power to create volcanoes.

• Yetis: masters of power
• Ice Maidens: devoted to their Temples
• Acolytes: focused entirely on the cults
• Dragonlords: creators of volcanoes through power
• Shapeshifters and Riverwalkers: factions that ignore the basic rule of one faction and one terrain type

That final idea introduces an especially striking contrast with the established order. Shapeshifters and Riverwalkers do not follow the most basic rule of one faction, one terrain type—an approach that is described as inconceivable to the Halflings.

With six named new factions challenging the original factions, Terra Mystica: Fire & Ice presents a setting filled with unusual powers, fervent beliefs, temples, cults, and volcanic creation. It is designed for groups of two to five players and offers a 100-minute game experience.
