About Terra Mystica
Now includes the add on Fire and Ice!
In a world of fantasy, called Terra Mystica, 14 races are fighting together or individually against their opponents to gain power and territory. Using their resources smartly and terraforming wisely to gain supremacy and lead their own settlers to victory. The original digital conversion of the highly decorated Terra Mystica board game of Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller. Play against other players world wide or challenge the computer opponent.
Overview:
Terra Mystica is a strategy game with a simple game principle and very little luck involved: You govern one of 14 factions trying to transform the Landscape on the game board in your favor in order to build your Structures. On the one hand, proximity to other players limits your options for further expansion, on the other hand though, it provides some benefits during the game. This conflict is the source of Terra Mystica's appeal.
Structures may be upgraded to provide even more resources, like Workers, Priests, Coins and Power. Build Temples to gain more influence in the four Cults of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air . Build your Stronghold to activate your group's special ability. Expand and build new Dwellings to have a lot of Workers at hand. Or make sure to have a constant flow of Coins by building Trading Posts.
The 14 artfully designed factions, each having unique special abilities, as well as the exchangeable bonus cards allow for a large number of possible game plays that constantly keep this game entertaining!

User reviews
Very nice implementation of the boardgame
Changed my review, now everything is fixed it works a treat! Everything is pretty well layed out, and so far it's been bug free. My only criticism is that the Easy bots are still reeeally hard to beat. Maybe I'm just not very good at this game? Not played it online yet, but I've never really been interested in onlin...
Excellent
One of the best digital board game, the new ai is also crazy smart
The most perfect boardgame port! I love every single game these developers create!!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is impressive that the AIs can actually play such a complicated game! I want to know if or when the merchants of the seas expansion is coming out. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!
