Expansionist is a board game of land and event tiles set in a fictitious medieval world. As the leader of your people you head the push across the mountains to newly discovered, uninhabited, fertile lands. Once there you must lay down your claim and build your settlements. But other communities are flooding through and you must race to secure the best chance for your people. If you become the most advanced and therefore the most settled, then you win the game! —description from the designer
