Get ready for a macabre serenade with Skulls of Sedlec: Troubadours, an expansion that brings a new melody and a touch of chaos to your private cemetery. In this addition to the base game Skulls of Sedlec, you'll encounter a new type of skull: the Troubadours! These wandering musicians aren't interested in scoring individually like the other skulls; the magic happens when they come together. Imagine a skeletal rock band, where scoring is collective and depends on the number of Troubadours connected to each other. The more Troubadours in a group, the more points they generate, but be careful not to overdo it! From four connected Troubadours onwards, the melody starts to get a bit muddled, and adding more musicians won't improve the band's performance. It's a fun pattern-building and set-collection challenge that adds an interesting strategic layer, forcing you to think about how to position these artists to optimize your points. Skulls of Sedlec: Troubadours is perfect for those who already enjoy the base game and want to expand the possibilities and replayability with a new and engaging mechanic. It's a compact expansion, but one that promises plenty of laughs and intriguing decisions at your game table.
