Ark Nova: Marine Worlds, an expansion for Ark Nova, introduces several new elements to the game, such as sea creatures that all have to be played in new special places that have to be built next to water. About half of the sea creatures are reef residents, and every time you add a reef resident to your zoo you activate the ability of all the reef residents in your zoo. To address the randomness of the deck caused by adding more cards, all sea cards have a wave icon. Whenever such a pattern is revealed, discard the first card in the row and replenish it. A new fourth university is available on the board, and taking it will claim one of six special universities from the reserve with a research icon and one of six animal icons. When you take this, you reveal cards from the top of the deck and take the first face-up card with an animal icon that corresponds to your chosen university. Four alternative versions with a little twist are available for each of the five action cards. Players draw action cards at the start of the game and replace two of their standard action cards with these new cards, increasing the asymmetry in the game. New bonus tiles and scorecards are also added.

The first major expansion for A Feast for Odin, The Norwegians, contains a number of additions to the game, with new strategies and puzzle tiles. Revamped Action Board: The largest of the new additions, consisting of three double-sided pieces that can be flipped over to reveal different actions depending on the number of players. This opens up new paths to action and increases the chance that players will get in each other's way. The board includes new features such as slaughter, elk hunting, fishing, and theft, along with adjustments to some old actions. For example, it's now easier to play an animal strategy, as you can now get two of the same animal in one action. There's also a new fifth column of (better) actions that only require one Viking. For example, you can now forge a gray special tile with a sword value of 8 or less using an ore and just one Viking! Another brand new single-Viking action is to perform a "small emigration" with a whaleboat, which covers one space at the feast table instead of two, but yields 7 victory points and costs no silver. As a bonus, you can send two Vikings to this column instead of one, allowing you to play a profession card in addition to the action. The downside is that when you use an action from the fifth column, you can no longer place Vikings for the rest of the round. New puzzle tiles: A 2x5 rectangle (horse/pregnant horse/leather/vadmal) and 5 spaces in a "U" shape (herbs/pig/antlers/tools). The red versions of these tiles contain two new animals, horses (worth 6 victory points) and pigs (worth 1 victory point and breed every round instead of every other round), allowing for even more possibilities for animal strategy. There are also five new gray special tiles, such as a pan, chainmail, and anvil, most of which can be forged with ore. Four new discovery boards: Islands on the front (Isle of Man, Isle of Skye, Islay, Outer Hebrides) with Irish coastal Viking settlements on the back (Waterford, Wexford, Cork, Limerick), where people from Norway wintered, traded and settled. Also included are revamped versions of the four discovery boards from the base game, with updated iconography and some with adjusted victory points. New Buildings: A completely new idea is the random starting building. Everyone gets one of six double-sided “craft shed” boards, and when a player can build a shed, they can instead build the front or back of their craft shed. Like the Stone House and Long House, the craft sheds offer new spaces to place orange and red tiles to earn bonus trade, silver, and victory points, and many of these require specific tiles in specific places. This gives everyone a different starting option – just like the profession cards. Victory Point Tokens: Another new option is that when a player would play a profession card into play, the player can instead choose to discard the card for a victory point token, which is worth 4, 3, or 2 victory points at the end of the game. This adds a nice competitive element, as there are a limited number of 4 victory point and 3 victory point tokens.
