| What it adds | A double-sided board with a Benelux map and a Central Europe map, each with small rule changes. | Korea and China maps: Korea splits buying into two resource markets (North/South), and China brings planned-economy rules where plants come out in ascending order. |
| What it fixes | Gives a faster, cheaper-to-build map with plentiful resources, so a repeat group can vary the game without a steeper rules load. | Gives experienced groups a tougher, more constrained game once the base maps feel solved. |
