Lords of Hellas: Atlas

This expansion can be used twice in game. It will allow you to obtain the Garden of Hesperides and Atlas Overload expansions. Will you help the mighty Atlas carry the weight of the world? Or will you steal the golden apples from the mythical Garden of Hesperides? This expansion will have 2 possible uses: Atlas Overload / The Garden of Hesperides! In the Garden of the Hesperides, the Atlas will be a very unique "monument" - here are some highlights: Starts the game already fully built (the miniature comes in 1 part). Players can send up to 6 soldiers (instead of priests). By sacrificing soldiers, you can collect gold apples. Gold apples are extra resources that will be exchanged instantly during the game for various bonuses, such as: Healing a hero's wounds, saving a soldier from death, adding strength to the army for the battle and exchanging more Apples will grant more epic bonuses. Atlas can carry the alternative side of the board with the Garden of the Hesperides. You'll be able to use the model for both Atlas' overload and the Garden of the Hesperides - so adding this expansion gives you 2 gameplay additions!

The Garden of the Hesperides expansion: It will create a lot of cool and exciting situations with extra resources that can be used instantly in very different situations. In this expansion you can choose to start with Atlas as the 4th monument. It enters the game fully built. Players using their normal action can send a maximum of 1 hoplite from any region (this rule will be different for 2 players) under Atlas. They stay there until all 6 locations are covered (building monuments has no effect on them). Once all 6 locations are fully covered, all players sacrifice hoplites to Atlas and in return he steals golden apples from the Garden of Hesperides. Each player will receive as many Golden Apple tokens as hoplites they had under their monument. Golden apples can be "consumed" at any time during the game and will have various effects: from healing heroes' wounds, rescuing hoplites, adding strength in battle to more powerful effects if you choose to consume more than one apple.

Reminder - Atlas Overload Rules. This expansion overrides the victory condition that the game ends when all monuments are built. You will place the Atlas figure next to an Atlas Overload board and place the "weight" token on 0 on the track. Each time a new temple / monument part or monster appears on the board - you will add weight to Atlas' shoulder. When the weight token reaches 12, Atlas' systems will shut down and his crisis procedures will begin. From now on, at the end of each player's turn, you will decrease the weight value by 1. When it reaches 0, Atlas' systems will shut down completely and the world will collapse. All players lose the game.

But you can help Atlas bear his weight! You will place the quest token "Help Atlas" in one of the regions. Players can delegate their heroes to help Atlas - if they do, they remove their hero from the board for the rest of the game, but increase the weight track by the value of their strength (thus "adding turns"). This expansion will change the dynamics of the game a bit and create a "clock" that will count down the time until the inevitable end of the game.
