Picture yourself mid‑battle over territories on Isle of Skye, roads knitting together and gold sparingly spread. Now the Kennerspiel des Jahres promo brings a fresh terrain tile that can flip the game in just a few minutes: two barrels of whisky and a herd of cattle. When you connect this tile to your castle with roads, the barrels literally pour out two gold coins each turn – a jump from one to two that can swing the tide in your favor. The cattle then enter specific scoring categories, adding a strategic layer for those who like diversifying point sources. The piece doesn’t alter the core mechanics – auctions, tile placement, and territory building still rule the day – but it offers a new decision point: is it worth investing roads to link the tile or focusing elsewhere? In terms of components, the expansion only adds the new terrain tile, keeping the size compact and the pace brisk, typical of Isle of Skye. Though a small add‑on, it fits perfectly into 30‑to‑50‑minute sessions, preserving the fast tempo and tension of competition. If you already own the base, this promo gives an instant upgrade, making each game a bit more unpredictable and, of course, more fun for those who love tracking gold flow and territorial control. In short, the expansion is an economic and strategic bonus that slots neatly into your collection without complicating the original experience, but adding a bit of whisky‑and‑cattle charm.

How many players can use the expansion?
The expansion works perfectly with 2 to 5 players, just like the base game.
Does the game time increase with the extra tile?
No, the tile adds only one terrain component, so the 30‑to‑50 minute playtime remains basically unchanged.
Do I need any additional components besides the tile?
No. The expansion comes with just the new terrain tile, so you can use it immediately with the base game.
How does the whisky tile work in practice?
When the tile is connected to your castle via roads, you receive 2 gold coins at the start of each turn instead of the standard 1 coin.
Does the cattle serve any function beyond scoring?
The cattle enters specific scoring categories in certain rounds, so plan your roads to take advantage of this bonus.
Does the expansion change the auction rules?
No. Auctions remain exactly as in the base game; the tile only adds extra income and scoring.
Is it recommended to use the expansion in quick games?
Yes, the tile keeps the game fast and can even speed up decisions to build roads for gold.
