## Description
If you are a fan of the Ancient series by Garphill Games, you know that every-single-action counts. This-Kickstarter exclusive-set of two-action tiles for Skara Brae is designed to inject fresh-and-powerful strategic layers into your-gameplay. These aren't just cosmetic upgrades; they are genuine game-changers that expand your-options. 

The 'Barter' tile is a dream for players who love resource-driven-strategies. It allows you to acquire Skaill Knives, which are essential for trading. Once activated, you can purchase resources directly from the trader marker, making your economy much more resilient. It's all about maintaining momentum and ensuring you never hit a resource bottleneck when you need it most. 

On the other hand, the 'Forage' tile is all about efficiency and board presence. It grants you the ability to resolve gathering actions as if you had workers placed there, even when you haven't. This extra-layer of action-economy can be the difference between a mediocre turn and a game-winning move. You can even trigger multiple-gather actions, giving you a massive boost in resource-gathering-speed. 

These tiles are perfect for players who enjoy squeezing every bit of value out of their turns and who love the deep-strategy-feel that the Ancient Anthology is known for. They add a layer of tactical-depth that makes Skara Brae even more engaging for veteran players looking to master the art of survival and prosperity in this prehistoric world.
