## Description
If you are already a fan of Forum Trajanum and feel like you've mastered every-single-move, these Essen Promo Cards are exactly what your collection needs. Don't let the small-scale-packaging fool you; these three extra Trajan cards are designed to inject a fresh dose of unpredictness into your gaming sessions. They are all about breaking the meta and keeping your opponents on their toes.

Originally released during the SPIEL '18 event in Essen, these cards were a special treat for those who hunted down the Roman patrols at the fair. But you don't need to have been in Germany back then to reap the benefits. By adding these cards to your base game, you are essentially expanding the pool of-player abilities, which means more variety and much higher replayability. Instead of following the same-old-same-old-strategy, you'll find yourself facing new-found-powers and unique-player-capabilities that force you to rethink your-city-building-tactics. It's a lightweight addition that delivers a heavyweight impact on the game's strategic depth. Perfect for players who love to master a game and then want to see how they handle a completely different set of-tools in the same setting. It's small, it's simple, but it's a total game-changer for your next-session.
