Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you've already braved the treacherous islands of Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island and felt like you needed an extra touch of challenge or a little boost for your camp, this mini expansion might be for you! Originally released as a special treat in the 2016 Board Game Advent Calendar, this promotional item is actually identical to the "Pen" tile you're already familiar with from the base game.
What does this mean in practice? Well, this extra tile can be incorporated as part of your camp, offering your survivors an additional tactical option. Consider it a bonus that could give you that crucial edge in tight situations, whether it's for generating resources, improving team morale, or even protecting yourselves from the harsh elements. It's one of those small additions that, despite its size, can make a noticeable difference in your struggle for survival against the island's dangers.

If you're a fan of the game and enjoy collecting all the available pieces, this promo is a cool collector's item. However, to be blunt, its impact on the rules is minimal since it replicates an existing tile. Still, for collectors and those who like having an extra little option up their sleeve, it's worth keeping an eye out for!
