Alpha to Alliances
This one is our hometown brew that builds on EC 1995 rules, adding the Alliances set. We believe that Alliances adds a vast amount to the brew-space and it fits thematically with Ice Age. Read more about the format here.
After extensive playtesting, we do not believe any card in Alliances warrant restriction or banning. The EC 1995 rules we use as a base are here on the LOTP site.
