## Description
Hey gamers! For those who love to spice up their base game of Firenze, this promo pack introduces three grey Joker bricks! They go straight into the bag at the start of the game, ready to lend a hand.

What's the deal with these bricks? They act as a wild card for any other brick color when you're building your towers. There's just one catch: you can't start a brand-new tower with a Joker, but you can totally use one to extend an existing tower of any color.

And pay attention, savvy players: these Joker bricks can't be acquired during the trading phase in the market. But don't worry, if you buy a card that shows a Joker brick, it's yours! Plus, if you have the Alchemist card, you can use its ability to fish one of these Jokers right out of the bag. It's a simple addition, but it adds extra layers of strategy and flexibility to your moves. If you enjoy Firenze and want more options, this promo is a great find!
