Description
Clans of Caledonia: Industria is the game’s first expansion, taking the experience to new heights. By now, the Industrial Revolution has deeply transformed Scotland. It comes with a large box to conveniently store both the base game and expansion, complete with custom lidded inserts and removable trays for quick setup and teardown. Industria introduces six new gameplay modules, including a train map and five modular “more of the same” expansions, which you can mix and match for endless variety. With Industria, explore fresh strategies and new paths to victory!
9 clans, 9 port tiles, 9 scoring tiles, 4 new double-sided map modules unlock new strategies!
Use the Railroad to deliver goods to Scottish towns, earning unique bonuses, and race to claim the best milestones. Sell goods at the lucrative Farmers' Market. Score in new ways with end game awards.
Solo players can now enjoy a true multi-player experience and challenge themselves against a newly designed Automa opponent. A sliding difficulty scale tailors to players of every skill level.

Pros
- A large quantity of extra content with more replay variety
- New map modules increase strategic options and lengthen play sessions
- Clans provide interesting asymmetric twists
- Scoring tiles, awards, and a farmers market mechanic add value and tension
- Solid insert trays and a boxed-in-all approach improve organization
Cons
- The train board feels marginal in practice and can be ignored by winning strategies
- Two separate rulebooks create friction and confusion during setup and play
- Some players may find the new bonuses less useful than core-contract strategies
- Paywalls and cost of access to bonuses may frustrate resource decisions
- The expansion box content can feel like a lot to manage and may overcomplicate the base game for newcomers
Thematic elements

- Industrial-era, Scotland-inspired setting with railway expansion and river-based trade
- economic strategy with negotiation, milestone-driven progression, and specialization through clans
