Tessera: Chapter Two is out now
Forty new boards, a rule that breaks the ones you already know, and still nothing to buy.
Chapter Two adds forty boards and one new tile — the hollow — which does nothing on its own and changes everything around it. It is the first tile we have shipped that can make a board unsolvable, and we went back and forth on that for a long time.
We decided to keep it. Tessera has always been a game about consequence, and a game about consequence in which nothing can go permanently wrong is not really about consequence at all. The hollow can ruin a board. That is what it is for.
Chapter Two is free for everyone who owns Tessera. There is no separate purchase, no season and no pass. It is the eleventh update since launch and, like the ten before it, it did not add a currency.
