## Description
If you're already a fan of the luxury and intrigue of Rococo, get ready to add a festive touch to your court wardrobe! 'The Festivity Dresses' is a small but charming supplement that originally appeared in the 2015 Brettspiel Adventskalender. The focus here is simple: introducing four new thematic clothing tiles to diversify your game's customization options.

In this pack, you'll find four new dress and coat tiles with holiday visuals: a yellow dress featuring a star, a red dress with a Christmas tree, and two coats (one green and one blue) accompanied by gentlemen bearing gifts. The manufacturing dynamics follow the same logic as the normal dresses in the base game — you spend the required resources to produce them, and that's it. However, there is a crucial detail that shifts your strategy: these festive outfits cannot be sold.

The big advantage here is the immediate reward. The moment you spend the resources to create one of these dresses, you gain Prestige Points instantly (only once per piece). After that, you flip the tile and place it in the hall, just as you would with any other piece of clothing, to ensure influence and the aesthetics of your environment. It's the kind of content that doesn't drastically alter the rules but adds layers of flavor and new quick-scoring goals for those looking to optimize their climb up the court's ranking.

If you enjoy collecting rare items or want to bring a year-end vibe to your gaming sessions, these tiles are the perfect choice. They bring that feeling of exclusivity found in promotional items, turning resource management into a race for immediate prestige while you decorate your hall with the elegance of winter festivities.

  Gain 2 Prestige Points for each pair of 1 female dress and 1 male coat you have on the board (regardless of their colors or positions).

  Gain 1 Prestige Point for each yellow dress you have on the board.

Refer to the manual for details on other actions.

End of Game and Scoring
The game ends after a specific number of rounds (see the manual). Players sum their Prestige Points according to the criteria above, and the player with the highest score wins.

Tips to Win

  Produce Festivity Dresses to earn extra Prestige Points immediately.
  Control decoration spaces and green/yellow dresses to accumulate additional points.
