Purchase the Polynesian Voygersa Faction on Forgefire! (link coming soon)
The Islanders of the Pacific Ocean are famous for their exploration of island chains, and this faction will do just that. Not only landing on unexplored bases, but discovering all-new bases that weren’t even in play yet! Not only that, but these voyagers channel the power of their tattoos to gain even greater power. You’re welcome!
Polynesian Voyagers are from the World Tour: Culture Shock set and do not have a Titan card.
Complexity Level: MEDIUM-HIGH
Mechanics
- Spreading To Empty Bases
- Playing Extra Bases
The Polynesian Voyagers' main focus is spreading over as many bases as possible. As such, most of their abilities have to do with moving your minions, especially to bases where you don't already have a minion, sometimes gaining +1 power counters at the same time. Since the number of bases limit that aspect, they are also able to put new bases into play, forever increasing the number of bases in play for the rest of the game.
As a secondary focus, they get benefits out of "tattoos", i.e. play-on-minion actions, each of them giving them extra power in some ways. In particular, Ocean Tattoo complement their abilities to move, while Shark Tattoos incite you to leave the minions alone on their bases.
