Alderley Hall (experimental event tile
from the developer): This special event
tile is not purchased. At the beginning
of season 2, place this tile in the £800
space of the market (the tile in that
space is returned to the bag).
As tiles are purchased, this event tile
slides to the left. When it reaches the
£500 market space, this event activates
immediately (it will be after a purchase
at the conclusion of a player turn).
The costume ball is announced (this is a
common event for all). Players who
wish to attend the ball at the home of
Charles and Elizabeth Fairchild must
have a minimum reputation of 2 and
pay £200 for the creation of costumes
for the family (no cards/tiles are played;
if the requirements are met, then the
favour is enjoyed). The favour is that
each player looks at two prestige guests
and keeps one, returning the rejected
guest to the bottom of the deck.
The tile is then removed from the game
and the market refilled; the next player
in turn order takes their turn.
Developer Note: The purpose of this
tile is to promote access to prestige
guests for all competitors using a
variable mechanism.

service. The VP count towards
courtship(s) in that category.
Once played, the player has two
options: 1) Pay £200 (the cost of new
art) to flip the tile to any of the other
three non-service categories, or
2) Decline to pay £200 and flip the tile
in the current organiser category (no
new art, but now a new group may
view the existing art).
