## Description
Hey board game fans! If you're already into 'Architects of the West Kingdom' and want to add a little extra spice to your games, this small promotional expansion is for you! Released as a treat during the 2018 Kickstarter campaign, it brings three Building cards that give your strategy a new boost. We have the 'Museum,' which rewards you with Virtue at the end of the game based on your constructed buildings – great for those who like long-term planning. There's also the 'Graveyard,' which gives you an immediate shake-up with your apprentices, forcing a quick tactical decision. And to top it off, the 'Crane,' allowing you to place an extra worker in the Guildhall to speed up building construction or advance work on the Cathedral. These are specific additions, but they bring that touch of novelty and can turn the game around at crucial moments. Perfect for those seeking extra replayability and who can't resist cool promotional content. Don't expect a revolution, but rather a charming upgrade for existing fans of the series who want more options to dominate the West Kingdom!
