For those already deep into the world of Argent: The Consortium, this Promo Pack #1 is one of those finds that makes the game even more engaging. It includes three additions that bring an extra flavor to your games without radically changing the core experience. First up is Toltan the Bard, a supporter who gives you a boost with a fast action to retrieve treasures and gain IP. Think of him as that friend who always has a trick up their sleeve to help you gather resources. Then we have the Crystal Skull, a consumable item that's cheap and lets you learn a spell directly from the tableau without spending INT, placing it there to claim its spot. It's a practical way to speed up your magical learning, but be careful, it can't be researched further. Last but not least is the Ancient Tablet, a treasure that costs a bit more but gives you the freedom to move your mages around the board to any empty slot. This can be crucial for area control or strategic positioning. These cards were initially released marked 'Promo Pack #1', but later reprints came with 'Lost Promo', just so true fans know you've got the originals! It's a small pack, but it adds tactical options and game-changing moments, maintaining the complexity and the political, fantasy vibe we love about Argent. ## FAQ ### Does this pack significantly change Argent's rules?
