## Description
Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you enjoy the vibe of Notre Dame and want to add an extra spice to your games, the "The New Persons" expansion is the right choice. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it adds nine brand-new characters that bring a welcome freshness to the base game. The idea is simple: mix these new faces with the old ones, sort them into three stacks based on the letters on the cards, and shuffle each stack independently. No complication here! Then, just play as usual, but with the surprise of encountering new characters and strategies along the way.

This expansion, which actually came with the "Treasure Chest," is perfect for those who already master the original game and are looking for a bit more variety without having to learn a ton of new rules. It maintains the economic and influence essence of Notre Dame, but with the addition of these characters, the range of options and interactions can subtly change, making each game a little more unpredictable. It's the kind of expansion you put on the table and barely notice you're playing something different, yet you feel there's something new to explore. So, if you're a fan of Notre Dame and want to extend the lifespan of your favorite game with a touch of novelty, "The New Persons" is a worthwhile addition, especially if you already have the complete collection or find this piece in the treasure chest.
