End game intrigue cards have less of an impact, and the renewed importance on Spice and Solari passively dials down the perceived strength of the Sword Master and Mentat. From the time you start playing Rise of Ix, those two spaces finally resemble what they always were, an option instead of a must-have. Firstly, there are tech Tiles, these tiles, which can be bought with Spice and give you either one-off powers, passive bonuses or endgame point dividends. Not only are these tech tiles great for making you feel different to everyone else but how you earn them is sumptuous, you can get discounts depending on which space you go to or even commit troops as negotiators, leaving them in the tech area to offer future discounts.

I’ll let you in on a secret, Games are neither more or less close in Rise of Ix, because that was an illusion in the first place. Fowler, Matt (December 21, 2019).
