51st State expansion? It’s happening!

The world of 51st State is in ruins. It’s up to you to rebuild. Take charge of a group of survivors and fight your way to salvation. You must rebuild. You must overcome. Beware everyone else… they are trying to do the same. The 51st State Master Set comes with 4 factions for players to take control of. Each offers a unique set of resources as well as some small special abilities. New York, Mutans, Appalacians, and Merchants. You may find that you prefer one… so I’ll try to introduce you to a few.   Merchants Guild The Merchants Guild spans the new world, controlling trade between cities that all but forgot about each other. The men and ...

Today, we bring you another artist from the 51st State Master Set. This time, we look at the amazing work of Mateusz Bielski

Today is the street date for the 51st State Master Set! Pre-order copies have been shipping over the last few weeks and everyone that pre-ordered received a special set of tiles in the box with no rules or explanation… so, today, we release those rules! Also, we promised solitaire variants to spice up your solo games. They are here as well! Click the images below to download the rules for Three Cities as well as the Solitaire Variants!  

We are only a few weeks away from the retail release of the 51st State Master Set. The game hits retail on the 25th of May! Be sure to ask your local game store to order yours! Pre-orders began arriving last week and there has been some confusion about what will be in the retail edition versus what was available for pre-order customers. 1 – The retail version absolutely DOES include wooden tokens. The pre-order tokens were different in that they had some 3d reliefs cut into them and some accents painted on. The retail version will contain regular, high-quality wooden tokens just like our other products. 2 – The retail version contains all 4 basic factions. These are the base ...

We’ve collected all of Ignacy’s design journals for the Master Set into one document for you. It’s a good read, you should check it out! Click the image!

THANK YOU!!! Well, you did the impossible. We were set to close the pre-orders next week, but you’ve forced us to close them early because you bought everything we’ve got! This past week has been a whirlwind of awesomeness as we saw the pre-order numbers skyrocket. We manufactured 1,000 pre-order copies and expected to have leftovers. We had no idea that you would be awesome enough to buy them all!!! Honestly, we are still in a bit of shock. If you were waiting to pull the trigger on ordering… well… you missed out. We’re sorry, but that’s just the way it is… but there may still be hope! Send us an email to portal@portalgames.pl with the subject line “Waiting” and we’ll put you on our waiting list. If we have ...

The 51st State campaign is going great, so today, we take a step back in time and check out one of Ignacy’s older articles. This one is all about designing the New Era expansion for 51st State and it applies to the Master Set as well… because it’s included! Good times.   Have you seen Shakespeare in Love? As the bubonic plague breaks out, the Crown orders the complete closure of all theatres in London. Suspended performances, unemployed actors, audience in despair. And what about an investor who had put all the money in the show? He is furious to say at the least. Catching the play’s director on one of the streets of London he demands an explanation. Now! He had invested a lot of money and was counting on ...

Today’s “read” is more visual than most. We are extremely proud of the look of the new edition of 51st State and we wanted to share with you the long process that Scorn went through to come to the final design. We start at the beginning, and arrive at the end through the history of his design process. Enjoy!   51 en from Ignacy Trzewiczek

It’s true, there are many similarities between Imperial Settlers and 51st State. Imperial Settlers was designed as a light-hearted update to the award winning 51st. This year, 51st State is getting a new skin and boy has the reaction been interesting. For us, it’s awesome that fans of the game are so passionate about changes to their beloved game.   But…   To set the record straight, the 51st State Master Set is NOT a re-theme of Imperial Settlers. It is very different and I’ll explain why.   1. The Pace of the Game In Imperial Settlers you have 5 rounds. Always. You get to build your engine and easily calculate what each card is likely to ...

Some of the hardcore fans of the first edition of 51st State complain that Rule of 3 got removed from the new edition of 51st State. Let me today provoke brainstorming with me. Let’s discuss this topic. Rule of 3 and Deals. Rule of 3 says you have 3 spaces for Deals and/or Spoils in your HQ. If you wanted to have at least one free space for Spoils – and we all know that you indeed wanted it – that meant you actually had space for only two Deals. Right? So you guys were able to use this whole mechanism of making Deals, managing blue Contact Tokens and all that shit dedicated to Deal action twice ...

So Master Set, huh? Let’s talk about building this baby! 51st State had 110 cards including Location cards, Connection cards and Leader cards. The New Era had 110 cards including Location cards and Connection cards. No Leaders though. Some of these cards were exact reprints of cards from 51st State. Winter expansion had 52 cards including Location cards, Connection cards and Leader cards again. Are you following me? You don’t look like you do. Anyway, that was a starting point. 272 cards. Big freaking mess. So I took a huge two handed hammer and I put it into work. Big hammer. Work. You got picture? ***
