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! ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island to play? Yes, absolutely!
