## Description
Get ready to give your favorite board game a little boost! Death Valley: Panamint City is an expansion that brings 6 brand-new cards for you to customize your gameplay experience even before you start. You know that feeling of wanting a little variety? That's exactly what this expansion delivers!

Here's how it works: before each game, you'll take a look at all the cards from the base game and this expansion. Then, the magic happens: you choose which cards will make up your final deck. The idea is to select 3 Animal cards, 4 Flood cards, 5 Terrain cards, and 6 Heat cards to shuffle and form the deck you'll face. The cards left out, well, they won't be part of this adventure. This customization allows you to adjust the difficulty and the type of challenges you want to tackle, making each game unique.

This expansion adds elements like Vultures, Panamint City, Red Cathedral, Ubehebe Crater, Zabriskie Point, and Panamint Dunes to your game. It's a smart way to refresh the challenge and strategy of Death Valley, maintaining the game's core of push-your-luck and pattern building, but with a personal touch. Perfect for those who have already mastered the base game and want more variety, or for those who enjoy planning their own adventure.
