About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! For those already hooked on Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island and looking to spice up their survival experience, the Trait Cards II expansion is here. This is a promotional pack that introduces five unique 'trait' cards, originally released through a Kickstarter campaign with The Dice Tower. The concept is that each player chooses one of these traits at the very start of the game, if they want to mix things up. Each card comes with a disadvantage that will give you a headache, but to balance things out, it also grants a clever advantage. It's the kind of twist that changes the game's dynamics and forces you to think of new strategies to avoid becoming shark food. The cards included are: 'Loss of Time', 'Pirate Leader', 'Lazy', and 'Cold-blooded'. Each one adds a unique challenge and a small bonus, ensuring no two games are ever the same. If you enjoy Robinson Crusoe and want more options to customize your experience, this expansion is a must-have. It adds that personal touch that makes all the difference when facing the cursed island. Get ready for more twists and tough decisions!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island to play?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the base game to use these cards.
How many 'trait' cards does this expansion add?
There are five 'trait' cards in total, each with a different effect.
Do the 'trait' cards make the game harder or easier?
They add a balance: each card has a disadvantage that makes things a bit harder, but also an advantage that helps in another aspect. The goal is to vary the experience!
Can I mix the 'trait' cards with other expansions?
Generally, yes! The idea is that they add an initial element to your character choice, so they should work well with other additions to the base game.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
The playtime doesn't change significantly; it remains between 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the scenario and the players.
Does this expansion add a lot of new components?
No, it's a card-focused expansion. It only adds the five 'trait' cards.
