## Description
Mint Control: Promo Pack arrives as a tasty extra for fans of the base Mint Control game. Available exclusively to Kickstarter backers, it adds two new character cards – Josh the jovial lawyer and Gia the greedy gangster – plus two fresh locations, the Candy Store and the Curio Shop. These additions are geared mainly toward solo play, giving new strategies and challenges when you’re up against yourself. The cards keep the series' minimalist art and cheeky humor, and the new areas slot neatly into the familiar board, expanding opportunities for area dominance. As a supplement, you don’t need to overhaul the core rules; just insert the new cards into the deck and place the locations on the board, and you’re ready for more variety. Playtime stays brisk at 15‑30 minutes, and the complexity remains low (weight 2/5), making it perfect for a quick session or for introducing newcomers to the Mint universe. If you already own the base game, this pack is a nice way to freshen up solo rounds and add another collectible Mint tin. Without the base game, however, the promo pack can’t be played on its own – it’s an expansion, not a standalone game.
