## Description
Pioneers: Queenie 1 – New Frontiers is a mini‑expansion that adds three fresh modules for fans of the base game. The first, the New Hotel, replaces the original tiles with new ones featuring different colors and patterns, letting you rebuild the road network in new ways. The second, the Sergeant, gives each player a sergeant board and a token that replaces the immediate special action of the sergeant from the original game, providing more control over worker placement. Finally, the Farmer introduces a token that swaps the farmer’s special action, adding more movement and logistics options. The expansion keeps the 2‑4 player, 60‑minute, 2/5 weight format, but adds layers of strategy by blending route building with the classic pick‑up and deliver mechanics of Pioneers. If you enjoy planning paths, optimizing worker moves, and exploring new routes, this mini‑expansion offers more variety without steepening the learning curve. It’s a great way to refresh the experience and extend the fun for those who already own the base game.
