About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're a fan of The Red Cathedral and want to spice up your Market visits, this promo is for you! It introduces 4 new Workshop tiles that bring enhanced actions to your gameplay. During setup, each player chooses one of these gems, and any extras are returned to the bag. The trick is that instead of taking the normal tile when claiming a Cathedral section, you can discard it and place your special Workshop tile. But beware: the cost isn't fixed! It varies with the available space in your Workshop. Just starting? It costs 6 rubles. Already placed 4? It only costs 2!
The options are cool: get a Diamond (just like the Jeweler's Guild), secure a Material of your choice plus a Ruble, activate any Market die you want, or go all out in any of the 4 Guilds. This expansion is a treat for those who already enjoy the base game and want to add an extra flavor to their strategies without overcomplicating things. It's the kind of content that makes you think 'hmm, where do I fit this in now?' without changing the game's essence. Perfect for adding some variety to your games and exploring new synergies!
Released with the first print run, this promo is a find for those looking to optimize their actions and have more flexibility on the board. It adds an interesting tactical layer, allowing you to customize your moves more dynamically. If you're someone who likes having more options and isn't afraid to experiment with new strategies, this small addition can make a big difference in your games.
