2. Introduction

Clans of Caledonia: Industria is set in a time of rapid industrialization and economic transformation to beloved 19th-century Scotland. The bustling era saw Scotland shift from an agricultural society to a powerhouse of industry and trade. Railways crisscrossed the land, connecting remote areas and facilitating the swift movement of goods and people. Factories sprouted up, powered by steam engines and driven by the relentless quest for innovation.

In this expansion, players will navigate the complexities of industrial growth, leveraging new technologies to boost production and expand their influence. Key industries such as textiles and steel take center stage, reflecting the era's dramatic economic shift. Historical clans must adapt to the changing landscape, seizing opportunities to industrialize their operations while continuing to produce and trade traditional agricultural goods, including their renowned whisky.

3. New concepts

3.1. Waterfall hex

Some hexes in the new map modules have rivers starting from a waterfall in a mountain rather than from a loch like in the base game. The river basically ends at the cross-section of the three hex outlines.

Example: Hex A (mountain with waterfall) is considered neighbouring to both other hexes for all purposes, but hex A is not along the river. Hex B and C are both along the river and adjacent (but not neighbouring) to each other as normal. If a player has units on all 3^[c][d] hexes, then these are part of the same settlement.

3.2. Having 2 units on the same hex

Several effects in Industria allow you to place 1 unit on a hex that already contains another unit.

General rules:

• When placing 1 unit on a hex with another unit, don’t pay for the hex,
• A player can only have a maximum of 2 units on the same hex,^[e][f]

• 2 units on the same hex are considered neighbouring,
• Each unit is counted individually for relevant scoring tiles and milestones,
• You can remove 1 of the units (via slaughtering, delivery bonuses) without removing the other,
• Otherwise, treat these extra units as they would be treated in the base game with respect to production and neighbourhood bonuses.

3.3. Units triggering placement bonuses

There are many new ways to place units on the game board in this expansion.

Whenever you place a unit from your player board onto the game map during your turn in the action phase, that unit may trigger a neighbourhood bonus/farmers market & building bonus. It does not matter through which means you placed the unit (ie. expand action, contract bonus, port bonus, delivery bonus, etc.).

Base game port tile #7 (errata): as a permanent change, the above rule permits this port tile bonus to trigger a neighbourhood bonus/farmers market as well.

3.4. Moving Units on the Game Map^[g]

Whenever you move a unit on the game board, you don’t have to pay for the new hex. The terrain of the new hex must match the required terrain of the unit that was moved onto it. Also, this does not trigger neighbourhood bonus/farmers market & building bonus. If you do move across a river or lochs, you must have the respective shipping level.

4. New Content

4.1. Clans    

4.1.1. Clan Sinclair (hard)^[h]

• You start with river-crossing, but cannot upgrade (or reduce) your shipping.
• You can skip over hexes that are empty or occupied by other players’ units, when expanding:

• Pay £2 to skip exactly 1 land hex (not necessarily in a straight line). Then gain a bonus upgrade;
• For £2 per loch hex, skip any number of loch hexes. You may also use this ability to claim a port;
• You cannot combine the 2 abilities in the same expand action to increase your reach.
• You cannot use these abilities to expand on a hex that is within your normal reach.

• For end of game settlement scoring, all your units within two hexes of each other count as connected.

Reminder: Bonus upgrades can be used to take a merchant back from the market instead of hiring a new one. This clan’s bonus upgrade for expanding is part of the expansion action and you have to take or forfeit the bonus upgrade before using building bonus, neighbourhood bonus, or farmers market.

Strategy: Mess up other players’ plans on the game map and capitalize on the neighbourhood bonus/farmers markets!

4.1.2. Clan MacPherson (easy)

At the end of the production phase, after producing goods: For each type of animal, a pair of units of that type on 2 neighbouring hexes breed. Place 1 free animal of the same type on the hex of 1 of the 2 parent animals.

Note: These free animals are placed after producing goods so they don’t produce in the same round (they’re still calves & lambs!) but will produce in future rounds.

Strategy: Get meat contracts early so that you can place back animals on your player board so that you can use your clan ability in every round.

4.1.3. Clan MacGregor (hard)

• You start with river-crossing.
• A group of 2 or more sheep of yours on adjacent hexes is called a herd. 2 sheep on a single hex do not make a herd.
• You can deploy any non-animal unit on the same hex as a sheep that’s part of a herd. When you do:

• Don’t pay the terrain cost,
• You then move the sheep to any empty grassland hex that’s adjacent (you may cross rivers if your shipping is at river-crossing or higher) to another sheep from this herd. Don’t pay the terrain cost when moving the sheep.
• If there is another unit on the hex with the sheep to be moved, move all of them together.

Note: neighbourhood bonus/farmers market is triggered by the unit being deployed and not by the units being moved.

• At the end of the production phase (hence after producing wool), you may return 1 sheep to your player board to gain £15.

Strategy: You need space for your herd, so target areas with no or few lochs.

4.1.4. Clan Fraser (easy)

• Kiltmaking:

• Treat up to 2 of your workers that are each neighbouring a different sheep as kiltmakers.
• Kiltmakers are considered factories as well as workers.
• During the production phase, each kiltmaker can process 1 wool into 1 kilt in addition to its normal production.
• You may have 2 kilts in total at the same time. Place a wool on your clan tile to represent a kilt.
• During the action phase, when discarding a processed good for any purpose, you may discard a kilt as if it was a processed good of any type (discard the wool from your clan tile).
• A kilt on your clan tile counts as a processed good in your stock.

• When importing cotton, if your total amount of imported cotton passed or reached a new multiple of 4, gain 2 wool.

Strategy: Focus on good early game contracts with cotton and later switch to other import goods.

4.1.5. Clan Douglas (medium)

• At the start of the game, return 1 of your 2 starting merchants to the box.
• Your merchants can trade up to 2 goods each. Price markers adjust based on the number of merchants you place, and not on the number of goods you trade.
• When you buy or sell goods, gain an extra £2 per pair of goods you traded.
• You can buy up to 4 goods through the neighbourhood bonus in all player counts.

Strategy: Use the neighbourhood bonus and farmers markets heavily to earn more money.

4.1.6. Clan MacFarlane (hard)

• You start with river-crossing and 2 merchant upgrades.
• All hexes along a river that you have a unit adjacent to are considered in your reach (for expanding and connecting settlements).

• Note: This ability doesn’t combine with your shipping reach.

• When you deploy a unit along a river, you may trigger the neighbourhood bonus and/or farmers market for each respective player unit/tile along the same river.
• Your special reach along rivers does not help you to reach waterfall hexes (where the river starts in a mountain).
• Your extended expansion and extended way of triggering the neighbourhood bonus & farmers market along rivers requires your shipping to be at least at river-crossing level or higher.

Strategy: Place your starting workers along the longest rivers and use the neighbourhood bonuses and farmers markets frequently.

4.1.7. Clan Gordon (easy)

Your fields have a cost of £15 instead of £18 and produce 1 extra grain during the Production phase.

During the production phase, place up to 1 grain you produce on each of your 3 silos. As an action, you may discard 1 grain from your silo to gain the following bonuses:

• Silo 1: gain a free hex.
• Silo 2: gain a bonus upgrade.
• Silo 3: gain 1 wool or 1 milk.

Grain in your silos counts as being in your stock. You may remove grain from your silo at any time and place it back in your stock.

Strategy: Focus on grain production and factories to produce many processed goods.

4.1.8. Clan MacLeod (medium)

• During setup, along with the starting tile, this clan is given 4 random, unused port tiles, shown face-up. They are private shipyards.
• You start with river-crossing.
• You may use private shipyards during your turn. When you do, also receive a building bonus, then flip the port tile, to show that it’s been used (you can no longer use this private shipyard).
• You cannot have more used private shipyards than you have port markers placed on the map.
• If you activate port tile 9 from the base game as a private shipyard of yours, it allows you to gain the bonus of any other private shipyard of yours, even if already used.

Strategy: Focus on claiming as many good early game ports as quickly as possible.

4.1.9. Clan Mackintosh^[i] (medium)

Each of your workers is a blast furnace.

When any player (you or other players) places a worker or a factory (cheese dairy, bakery, distillery), gain exactly £3 if there is at least 1 of your workers adjacent to this unit. This also applies for starting workers. You gain this bonus after having paid for the expansion action.

Strategy: Focus on clustering workers next to each other to save a lot of money first.

4.2. Scoring tiles

4.3. Port bonus tiles

10: Ignore 1 required processed good when fulfilling a contract

11: Place an animal for free, on the same hex as another of your animals.

12: Exchange 1 of your cheese dairies, bakeries, or distilleries on the board with 1 of your fields from your player board for free.

13: Either pay £10 to gain 2 technology upgrades, or gain 4 glory.

14: Discard 1 processed good to gain any 4 basic goods.

15: If you have at least 1 contract fulfilled, gain 3 merchant upgrades. As for a bonus upgrade, you can take a merchant back from the market instead of hiring a merchant.

16: Pay £5 to move a price marker by up to 6 steps in either direction.

17: Discard 4 processed goods to gain £50.

18: Pay £25 to fulfill a contract in your export box without paying any good or meat

5. New Mechanics

5.1. Refill Board^[j]

The refill board lets players know what contracts will come next and allow them to plan ahead more accurately.

During setup, after preparing the export board and creating the contract draw pile, place this board next to the contract board and fill each spot with a face-up contract from the draw pile.

During the preparation phase, when refilling the contract board, take contracts, from left to right, from the refill board instead of the contracts draw pile.

When a player gains the building bonus, they take the 3 (6 for Buchanan) leftmost contracts from the refill board instead of drawing from the contract draw pile.

Any time contracts are taken from the refill board, slide all contracts to the left of the board and then refill the empty spots with contracts from the contract draw pile.

5.2. Award Tiles

Awards offer a goal to players and are scored the same way as the settlement and contract scoring.

At the end of the game, the players who performed best on the award’s criterion score 12/6 VP for 1st/2nd (8/0 VP in a 2 player game).

During setup, draw 1 random award tile and place it below the scoring tile for round 5.

1. Most units on the map
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.^[k]

2. Most import goods of one type
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

3. Most glory
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

4. Most money in stock
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

5. Biggest settlement

(Number of units in your single largest settlement)
        12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

6. Most basic goods in stock
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

7. Most processed goods in stock
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

8. Most units along rivers
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.

9. Most units next to lochs
   12/6 VP or 8/0 in 1-2 player game.
   Units on loch hexes also count toward this goal.

5.3. Farmers markets

The farmers markets both change the shape of the map by blocking off hexes, and give players opportunities to sell goods at a higher price. This price bonus is equivalent to the neighbourhood bonus.

There are 9 farmers market tiles: 1 for each pair of basic good and processed good.

5.3.1. Setup

During setup, before drafting clans, deal 1 farmers market tile to each player.

In reverse turn order, each player places their farmers market tile according to the following restrictions (Note: if you use the auction for clans & turn order, then place the farmers market in reverse auction order instead):

• It must be placed on a land hex,
• This hex must have at least 3 neighbouring land hexes,
• There must be at least 2 hexes between it and any other farmers markets.

Note: we recommend that you don’t overthink this decision in your first few games with farmers markets, and just place them in accessible places with a lot of neighbouring hexes.

5.3.2. Gold Penalty

When playing with farmers markets, place the overlaying passing bonus tile on top of the corresponding area of the contract board. Its passing bonuses are £4 lower than usual.

5.3.3. Gameplay

You cannot place units on hexes containing a farmers market.

Whenever you expand to a hex neighbouring a farmers market, you may immediately sell up to 4 goods of a single type shown on the farmers market tile that is not already covered:

• You need to pay the expansion (unit & hex) cost before using the farmers market.
• Gain an extra £2 for each basic good sold or an extra £3 for each processed good sold. Place merchants and move the price markers as normal.
• Place one of the goods sold on the farmers market tile, covering the corresponding icon.

When both icons on a farmers market are covered, the tile is immediately removed and returned to the box (the goods used to cover the icons on the tile are discarded). Players can now expand onto this hex normally.

Notes:

• You can only use farmers markets during your turn in the action phase (so, for instance, not when placing starting workers).
• Special unit placements that don’t trigger neighbourhood bonuses do not trigger farmers markets either.

6. Train Module

This module introduces a new map on which players move their train to deliver goods to towns and cities, gaining unique bonuses.

Players also compete to achieve milestones that give VP and unlock new areas of the map.

6.1. Setup

6.1.1. Train board

The train board contains:

• 10 towns
• 2 cities
• 2 shortcuts

6.1.2. Overview

A: town

B: shortcut

C: city

D: delivery bonus tile

E: demand tile

F: milestone tile

G: train

H: milestone marker

I: demand tiles refill area

J: delivery track

6.1.3. Setup procedure (3 and 4 player game)

During setup, before drafting clans:

1. Shuffle each type of tile in a face-down pile. For each type of tile:

1. Draw and place 1 delivery bonus tile on each spot (1 for each town and city);
2. Draw and place 1 demand tile on each spot (1 for each city and each pair of towns);
3. Draw and place 1 milestone tile on each spot (1 per city and 1 per shortcut);
4. Shuffle and create a pile with the demand tiles and place it face-down next to the demand tile refill area;
5. Draw and place 4/3/2 (for 4/3/2 players) demand tiles face-up on the demand tiles refill area, next to the demand tiles pile;

2. Each player places their 4 milestone markers on the first 4 spots of the delivery track, and their train station on the last spot.

At the end of setup, after placing the first workers, in reverse turn order each player places their train on a town of their choice. You cannot place your train in the same town as another player during this initial placement.

Note: as you need to move your train before delivering, you should not place your train in a location where you want to make your first delivery!

6.2. Actions Related to the Train map

In this module, you can take 2 new actions on the train map:

• Train action: move on the train map and then deliver goods for a bonus (limit: once per round),
• Milestone action: claim a milestone and unlock shortcuts and cities on the train map (limit: available milestone markers).

6.2.1. Train action

You can take 1 train action each round.

As an action, move your train 1 or 2 spaces. Movement is from one space to an adjacent space (using train tracks). You cannot pass through locked train tracks which you have not unlocked yet (through claiming the corresponding milestone). You cannot finish your movement in the same location where you started your movement.

When moving into a space that contains trains from other players (either finishing your movement or passing through), you must pay £3 to each of these players (you need to have enough money to do the movement).

You must deliver goods to the location you finished your movement in (you cannot do the movement if you cannot deliver goods).

Then tilt your train on its side to indicate it’s exhausted for this round.

6.2.1.1. Delivery bonus

When delivering goods to a location, discard the goods from your stock matching all those on the demand tile of this location.

Then immediately gain the delivery bonus of this location and take your leftmost item from the delivery track (milestone marker or train station).

6.2.1.2. Train Station

When you take your train station from the delivery track (after doing your 5th delivery of the game), you may immediately place it on any hex of the map that satisfies these 3 conditions:

• Is within your reach,
• Already contains at least 1 unit from another player,
• Is not adjacent to another train station^[l][m][n] (hence also not on the same hex).

Note: In the unlikely event that no hexes on the board meet all 3 conditions, keep your train station in your player area until the end of the game.

Placing your train station doesn’t cost anything and neither triggers the neighbourhood bonus nor the farmers market.

Your train station counts as 1 of your units for all purposes.

If the other player’s unit is removed from the hex of the train station, your train station remains where it is and then the hex is considered yours only.

6.2.2. Milestone action

As an action, claim a milestone that you satisfy and haven’t already claimed. 4 milestones are available. Each milestone is linked to a shortcut or a city.

When claiming a milestone, place your milestone marker on the highest scoring spot still available. You cannot claim a milestone if you don’t have a marker to place.

The corresponding shortcut or city is now unlocked for you.

6.2.2.1. Shortcut

Shortcuts connect 2 towns on opposite sides of the board. Moving through a shortcut counts as moving 1 space.

When using a shortcut during your train action, you gain an additional action after you complete your train action.

6.2.2.2. City

A city works like a regular town: you can pass through it or stop on it and deliver goods.

When delivering to a City, gain 2 Glory Points.

6.3. Train Admin phase

During the Preparation phase, except during the first round:

• Replenish the demand tiles: cities first, then towns, from left to right:

• Discard the demand tiles with a tilted train attached to it;
• Place the leftmost demand tile from the demand refill area in its place;

• Slide the remaining tiles (if any) from the demand refill area to the left, then refill the empty spots from left to right, drawing from the demand tile pile.
• Straighten back up all trains.

6.4. End of game scoring

6.4.0.1. Delivery track

The number of empty spots on the delivery track shows how many deliveries you made throughout the game, and how many VP you score: 0/1/2/3/4/5 deliveries give 0/2/5/9/14/20 VP.

6.4.0.2. Milestones

Score VP for each milestone you placed during the game: being 1st/2nd/3rd/4th to claim a milestone give 8/4/2/0 VP.

6.5. 2 player game

6.5.1. Setup

6.5.1.1. Train Map

Use the backside of the train map marked for 2 players, with only 2 spots in the milestone areas. These spots give 6/2 VP for 1st/2nd.

6.5.1.2. Mini-Train

Each player uses the mini-train meeple of their player colour.

When players place their train meeple and mini train meeple, they do so in reverse turn order as usual, placing one of their train meeples at a time. So the 2nd player can place either their own or their mini-train meeple on a town, then the 1st player places either their own or their mini-train meeple on a town. Then, the 2nd player in turn can place their remaining train. Finally, the 1st player places their remaining train.

6.5.1.3. Train action

Every time a player takes a train action, you must also move the mini-train. You may move your train and the mini-train in either order. The mini-train doesn’t make deliveries. Then tilt only your train on its sleeping side, but not your mini-train.

Interaction rules when moving your own train or your mini-train:

• You can’t finish movement with your train in the spot where your mini-train is, and vice versa;^[o]
• You don’t have to pay when your trains meet each other;
• You have to pay your opponent £3 whenever meeting any of your opponent’s trains (with either of your trains). If you meet both of your opponent’s trains, you must pay your opponent £6.

7. Solo play^{[p][q][r][s][t]}

The train map can be used for both the solo variant of the base game and the automa included in the expansion.

When you deliver to a location, discard its delivery bonus tile. This means you can deliver to each location once only.

Gain VP from claiming Milestones based on the round during which you claim them: 10/8/6/4/2VP for rounds 1/2/3/4/5.

7.1. Automa

The automa doesn’t use the train map, it instead scores a flat amount per difficulty level when using the train module:

• Very easy: 20 VP  
• Easy: 25 VP
• Medium: 30 VP
• Hard: 35 VP
• Very hard: 40 VP

7.2. Solo variant (base game)

If playing with the solo variant of the base game AND using the train map: deduct 30 VP from your final score.

7.3. Milestones

There are 4 milestone cards to be used for both solo and automa gameplay. These shall be put on the matching milestone areas to overlay the usual VP. Instead, you score 10/8/6/4/2/0 VP for claiming a milestone in round 1/2/3/4/5. This way, you’re rewarded for claiming a milestone in earlier rounds without actually competing with anyone for the milestones.

7.4. Award scoring

The automa does not score anything. The way you score VP in both automa and solo mode is altered:

So depending on how much you have of the respective item, you score 4VP, 0VP or even lose 4VP.

There are 9 award cards that contain this information, so during setup you can just randomly draw an award card. ^[u]

8. List of delivery bonuses^[v][w]

Delivery tile back

9. List of Milestones

Milestone back

10. Variants

10.1. Variable starting prices

This variant makes market prices start at variable values.

During setup, after placing the price markers on the market board, for each type of good, roll the price dice. If it shows:

•  “+1” or “-1”, leave the price marker on its normal spot,
• “+2” or “+3”, move the price marker one step upward,
• “-2” or “-3”, move the price marker one step downward.

10.2. Clan auction with turn order tied to the clans

(this variant has been introduced on Board Game Arena)

This works like the “Auction variant”, except that the turn order is tied to the clans. Proceed as a normal auction variant, except that:

• For each clan drawn before the auction, allocate a starting tile and a turn order (leftmost clan is 1st in turn order, rightmost is last);
• When winning a bid, set your turn order as the turn order of the clan you choose (instead of 1st player for the 1st player to win a bid, etc…)

10.3. Alternative clan auction methods

These auction methods are alternative to the method described in the base game where players bid one after the other until everyone but one player has declined bidding.

10.3.1. Blind auction variant

Randomly decide a player who will have the 1st tiebreaker. Next players in clockwise order have 2nd, then 3rd, then 4th tiebreakers.

All players secretly bid a number of VP (you can use coins for this).

Then all players simultaneously reveal their bid. The highest bidder wins this round of auction and can pick their Clan, then marks their bid as negative VP. Ties are broken by order of tiebreaker.

Repeat with the remaining players, until everyone has a Clan.

10.3.2. Vickrey auction method

Follow the same steps as for the Blind auction method, except that when a player wins a round of auction, they mark the second highest bid as negative VP, instead of their own bid.

10.4. Alternative Export and Settlement Scoring in a 2 player game

The following two ways of scoring are a bit less cutthroat and may still incentivize players to keep pushing in these scorings even if one player is unlikely to overtake another in these scorings.

10.4.1. Export scoring

The player who fulfilled the most contracts gains 8 VP as normal.

The second player gains 4 VP if they fulfilled exactly one contract less, and 0 VP otherwise. In case of a tie, both players gain 4 VP as usual.

10.4.2. Settlement scoring

The player with the most connected settlements gains 12 VP as normal.

The second player gains 6 VP if they have 1 or 2 connected settlements fewer, and 0 VP otherwise. In case of a tie, both players get 6 VP as usual.

10.5. Using Milestones without the full train module

For both of the following variants, delivery bonus tiles, trains and train stations are removed from the game.

4 Milestone tiles are placed on the train board as usual. Each player places 1 of the milestone markers next to the scoring tiles for rounds 1 - 4 each. All Players get 1 milestone marker at the start of every round (place 1 of each player next to the scoring tiles).

10.5.1. Using Milestones without the train module

• Players pay 5£ to claim a milestone.

10.5.2. Using Milestones with a simplified train module

• There is 1 demand tile next to each milestone
• In order to claim that milestone you need to deliver the goods depicted on the demand tile, then gain 15£ and you can take your milestone marker next to the current round scoring tile (or lower) to claim the milestone directly. Each round the milestones get new demand tiles. These 4 upcoming demand tiles are on the demand tile refill track on the train map.

11. FAQ and rules clarification

11.1. Order of bonuses

The building bonus, neighbourhood bonus and farmers market can be used in any order in a turn. However, all these bonuses can only be used after the expansion action has been fully resolved. An expansion action is fully resolved if the expansion cost for the hex and unit has been paid and if there are any related special bonuses for the expansion action (eg. bonus upgrade the Railroad Clan), then these need to be taken/forfeited before using the building bonus, neighbourhood bonus and/or farmers market. ^[ab]

11.2. Type of units

All workers count as 1 type of unit for scoring tiles and milestones ONLY. In all other gameplay, woodcutters and miners are considered different units.

11.3. Removing a worker from the game board

Several effects in the base game and in Industria allow you to remove a worker from the game board, and place it back on your player board.

As miners and woodcutters have the same figurine, it is sometimes not obvious which type of worker they should be treated as, and where on your player board you should place them back. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. If all 4 workers of one type are on your player board, then treat any worker you would remove from the game board as a worker of the other type;
2. If only 1 type of worker can be placed on the terrain of the worker you remove, then treat this worker as a worker of this type;
3. If the 2 previous points don’t force you to choose a type of worker, then you may choose which type of worker to treat this worker as.

11.4. Take one of your Merchants back from the Market (Reminder)

When gaining a bonus upgrade action through any means, you may alternatively take one of your Merchants back from the Market into your stock instead of hiring a new one. This rule already exists in the base game and this is a reminder because the expansion provides a lot more options to gain bonus upgrades.
