Well, this expansion solves exactly that problem! With the '5-6 Player Expansion', you can expand your table to accommodate up to six artisans wanting to build their stained glass windows, without the game dynamics turning into chaos. To ensure the game flow remains high even with more players, the expansion introduces 'Private Dice Pool' boards. Basically, this organizes each player's dice reserve, avoiding the confusion of who took what and keeping the drafting rhythm agile. But it's not just about the number of people; the expansion also brings new private objectives and window pattern cards, meaning strategies shift and scoring possibilities increase. It's the perfect addition for those who already love the base game and often gather larger groups. You keep all the aesthetic beauty and the tension of trying to fit that specific die in the right spot, but now with amplified competitiveness. One important warning: this is not a standalone game. To build your windows and compete for the title of the best artisan, you must own the Sagrada base game. If you already have the main box, this upgrade is the natural path to turn your game nights into even more crowded and colorful events! ## How to Play Objective of the Game In Sagrada, players are working to create beautiful stained-glass windows. The goal is to successfully place dice into your Window according to specific patterns while managing colors and values. The player who best completes their window and fulfills specific goals will win the game.

Game Flow The game follows the standard rules of the base game, with specific modifications if using the Private Dice Pool Rules. Standard Rules Flow Gameplay is identical to the base game at all player counts. The Draft Pool size depends on the number of players: 5 Players: 11 Dice 6 Players: 13 Dice (The formula is 2 dice per player, plus 1 additional die). Private Dice Pool Rules Flow When using these rules, there are three key differences: players take only 1 turn per round, a new action is available, and the Draft Pool is smaller. Draft Pool Size: 1 die per player, plus 1 additional die (e.g., 6 players = 7 dice). Turn Structure: Beginning with the Start Player, each player takes a single turn in clockwise order. End of Round: Once the last player has completed their first turn, proceed to the End of the Round. Actions and How to Play On a player's turn, they may perform each of the following actions once, in any order. Each action is optional; a player may perform all three, any two, only one, or pass their turn. Actions (Private Dice Pool Rules) Select 1 die from your Private Dice Pool: Place it in an open space on your Window. All standard dice placement restrictions apply. Select 1 die from the Draft Pool: Place it in an open space on your Window. All standard dice placement restrictions apply. Use 1 Tool Card: Spend Favor Tokens to use a Tool Card. Note that Tool Cards from the base game that refer to the "Draft Pool" or "Drafted Die" cannot be used on dice from a Private Dice Pool. Actions (Standard Rules) Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção. End of Game and Scoring Game End and Scoring are identical to the base game. Scoring Players gain Victory Points based on the following: Standard scoring criteria from the base game. Private Objective Cards: Players gain Victory Points equal to the sum of the values of dice within specific spaces in their Window (regardless of color). Scoring Example: For a Private Objective like "Fence," you would sum the values of dice in the specified shaded spaces (e.g., if B1 is 3, C1 is 5, B5 is 2, and C5 is 3, the total is 13 VP).
