## Description
A brand new module has arrived to boost your Endless Winter experience! The Ceremonial Grounds module adds an extra layer of strategy with cards that grant immediate points. At the end of each Eclipse phase, you can grab one of the available Ceremonial Grounds cards and score it right away. These cards offer points for meeting certain requirements, which can be a significant advantage. But watch out, there's a catch: you can only score ONE of these cards throughout the entire game. And there's more: once you choose one, you can no longer bury cards in your pile. This choice becomes a milestone in your game, with the card placed in landscape orientation on top of your buried cards pile. Knowing the right moment to take your card is crucial. If you go too early, the score might not be worth much. If you wait too long, the card you wanted might be snatched up by another player. This module introduces important decisions and sharp strategic timing without adding too much complexity to the existing rules. Perfect for those who enjoy optimizing every move and are looking for new ways to score in Endless Winter.
