About the game

What you do in a play session

If you already feel like Gùgōng is an incredible journey but occasionally wish for a little extra-spicy-strategic-flavor, then this micro expansion is calling your name! These Bonus Travel Tokens are designed to add just the right amount of-boost to your empire-building-in-ancient-China experience.

How does it work? It's super straightforward: you mix these bonus tokens with your existing travel tokens. When you claim one of these-special-tokens, it stays face-up in front of you, waiting for the perfect moment to shine. These aren't just-fluff-tokens; they are genuine game-changers. You can use them to double the value of a Gift Card, trigger a secondary action twice (yes, twice!), or even snag a discount on Jades and Decrees by saving your servants.

Once you've squeezed all the-power-out-of-them, you simply flip them face-down on your player board. It's a clever way to add a layer of resource management and tactical-timing to the game. You aren't-just-playing-the-board anymore; you're managing these little-power-ups to optimize your-engine. It's a small-scale addition that offers a big-scale-impact, making it a must-have for players who love to squeeze every-single-point-out-of-their-turn. Perfect for those who want to spice up their-Gùgōng-sessions without needing a massive-rulebook-overhaul!
