## Description
Hey folks! If you're already a fan of The Ancient World and want to add a little extra spice to your games, these Kickstarter promo cards are for you! These are two district cards that didn't make it into the main box but went straight to the backers of the 2014 campaign. One of them supercharges the Explore action, allowing you to build Empire cards immediately. The other gives you some extra income and a two-card bonus when you take the Explore action. Imagine how these can shift the game's tempo! These additions are fantastic for players who enjoy having more options and strategies to devise, making each game even more unique. If you're the type who can't resist a new little card to make your favorite game even more complete, these promos are a real find. They don't change the game's core rules but add that special flavor that makes all the difference for those who already master the board and are looking for an extra challenge, or simply want to expand the universe of The Ancient World. It's the kind of thing that makes us feel special for having backed that campaign way back when!

## FAQ
### Are these cards a full expansion or just an extra?
These are promotional cards that add two district options to the base game The Ancient World; they are not a complete expansion.

### Do I need the base game The Ancient World to use these cards?
Yes, absolutely! These cards are meant to be used alongside the main game, The Ancient World.

### What is the impact of these cards on the game?
They offer new ways to optimize the Explore action, either by building Empires faster or gaining extra resources.

### How many players can benefit from these cards?
Since the base game is for 2-4 players, these cards work within that range, adding another layer of decision-making for everyone.

### Where can I get these cards now?
As promotional cards from a 2014 Kickstarter campaign, they can be hard to find. They usually appear on secondary markets or through player trades.

### Do they significantly increase the game's complexity?
No, the complexity remains very similar. They add more strategic options without overwhelming the existing rules.

### Are they worth buying if I wasn't an original backer?
If you're a big fan of The Ancient World and like to have all the pieces, or if you find them at a good price, they might be worth it. However, they are not essential to the game experience.
