Nucleum

As the Twentieth Century dawns, the world is forever changed. Fueled by the Uranium Revolution, a new era of prosperity is here. The rich, the powerful, the free spirited... They all want a slice of the new life. Lucky for them, the energy consortiums working all over the planet, from Saxony to Australia, are more than happy to sell a few shares for extra investments. With these seemingly inexhaustible new sources of funding more and more entrepreneurs dared to set up their own experiment, and set out to make their own glowing bright green path to success! But no one can reach their heights with ambition only. Powerful Patrons are here, offering their wealth and knowledge to help you reach a new level and become the most respected entrepreneur of the time! Nucleum: Energy Research Institute is an expansion to the base game of Nucleum and brings to life 8 new Experiments, and Patron cards with powerful abilities. All new Experiments are also compatible with Nucleum: Australia, Nucleum: Court of Progress, and Nucleum: Patrons Set.

Nucleum: Court of Progress: Essentials: No. of players: 1-4 Playing time: 60-150 minutes Age: 14+ Nucleum: Court of Progress: - Rules of Play says: As the 19th century draws to a close, the monarchies of Europe struggle to stay relevant in this rapidly changing age. Whether it’s the court of King Frederik in Saxony or the court of the aging Queen Victoria of the British Empire trying to maintain rule over the faraway riches of Australia, they must all contend with the rising political forces clamoring to secure their piece of the pie in the nuclear revolution. As ideologies clash in parliaments, entrepreneurs like yourself must do their best to make sure they have plenty of friends in the halls of power. Nucleum: Court of Progress introduces several new concepts and rule changes that can be added to the base game and/or Nucleum: Australia. Via the new Court action players get a chance to send their workers to political parties and even become their leaders to gain various benefits. Joining a Party provides instant rewards and opportunities to earn VP during King's Day Scoring, which is now much more significant. The expansion also adds two new Experiments, new action tiles, contracts, etc.

Nucleum: Patrons Set Booster: Essentials: No. of players: 1-4 Playing time: 60-150 minutes Age: 14+ Nucleum: Patrons Set Booster: - Rules of Play says: This mini expansion brings Patron Cards into the game. Each Patron Card belongs to the specific Experiment board. In the base game those Experiments are distinguished by letters only. Now, on every Patron card you can see the occupation of each Patron associated with the specific Experiment along with their description and image depicting them. From now on, Experiments will be referred to using names of their Patrons introduced by this mini expansion.

The uranium rush reaches the vast continent of Australia, where entrepreneurs must navigate sprawling distances using new shipping lanes and build their own coal mines to keep the engines running. A new expert variant adds bidding for experiments, and the island of Tasmania offers an experimental power plant to covet.

Adds Patron Cards to Nucleum, giving each Experiment board a named patron with flavor text and illustration — transforming the abstract lettered experiments into memorable historical figures.
