If you already enjoy CV: Boardgame Designer and want to give your game a boost, the Promo Cards expansion is what you need. It brings three promotional cards that blend into the original deck, adding new ways to spend resources and earn points. The first card, "Boardgame Designer," lets you sacrifice two happiness icons and two light bulbs to receive a happiness icon, a light bulb, and a relationship icon each turn. The second, "Boardgame Collection," requires three money icons to grant one victory point at the end of the game and a relationship icon each turn. The third, "Trip to Game Fair in Essen," demands three money icons to award two happiness icons at once. All of this keeps the gameplay light and fun without changing the base game's complexity. You still use the same hand management, dice rolling, and open drafting mechanics, just with more action options. If your goal is to bring more humor and variety to your sessions, this expansion is perfect. It doesn't alter the core rule, just adds three cards that fit seamlessly into the game's flow, offering quick and unexpected rewards. Ideal for players who enjoy experimenting with new strategies without overcomplicating the game.
