This small expansion introduces 6 promo cards inspired by the Crusaders universe, adding an extra layer of strategy to your favorite roll-and-write game. The mechanic is quite intuitive but demands the careful planning we all love: you need to fill hexagons arranged in wedges, following a specific clockwise order. As you complete these areas, the game unlocks rewards that might be the difference between an average session and an epic victory. The ultimate goal is ambitious, as always: to earn the coveted 6 stars, you must fill every hexagon in every wedge. It sounds simple on paper, but managing your dice results and the order in which you tackle these wedges makes all the difference. It is a challenge that tests your optimization and adaptation skills, maintaining the fast-paced rhythm that defines the series. Since it is promotional content, it does not change the core rules of the base game, but it offers a new twist for those who have already mastered the original realms. It is perfect for spicing up your table without needing to learn a hundred-page manual. If you enjoy optimizing every move and want to see how the Crusaders theme translates into the Rolling Realms system, these cards are an essential addition. Get your dice ready, gather your friends, and see who can master these new wedges most efficiently. It is lean content, but it brings immense satisfaction when you finally manage to fill the board and secure your maximum score. A solid and fun addition to keep the game feeling fresh and challenging with every new session. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game to play?
