About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of "The Great Split" and looking to spice up your games, the "General Promo Tile" has arrived! This little gem is a promo card that introduces a new character to the game, without messing with the rules we already know and love. The General functions just like the other characters, but with a special twist: at the start of the game, he gives you a boost by advancing 5 spaces on the Emerald Track. Then, at the end of the game, he rewards you with an additional Gold Contract for scoring. It's a small addition, but it can make a significant difference in strategy, especially for those who enjoy long-term planning and optimizing every point. Perfect for those who have already mastered the base game and want to explore new tactics, or for those who want to surprise friends with a character that slightly alters the game's flow. If you're looking to add a new element that doesn't complicate the game but offers an interesting strategic bonus, the General is the right choice. It's the kind of promo that makes you want to play again just to test out the new possibilities!
