A Treasure Trove of Expansions from alea

For the company’s tenth anniversary, German publisher alea is releasing Schatzkiste (aka Treasure Chest), a set of ten expansions for six of the 21 titles that it has released over the past decade. The titles being expanded are:

• Puerto Rico and San Juan, which will both have new buildings as well as another “gimmick.”
• Notre Dame, which will have nine additional persons who can be bribed for special favors.
• In the Year of the Dragon, which will see the Great Wall of China come into play in addition to having new events that can afflict players.
• Wie Verhext!, which will receive cards for a sixth player, a set of amulets (to make the game with fewer players more exciting), and magic abilities for each player at the start of the game.
• Louis XIV, which provides characters who will open up new possibilities.

Update, Jan. 25: Jay Tummelson at Rio Grande Games has confirmed that he will release Schatzkiste in English. No word on what the title will be or when it might appear in print.
