You know those small details that change the whole table dynamic? The White Castle: Promo 4 is exactly that. It's not a full game, but rather a small 'seasoning' specifically designed for those already playing with the Matcha expansion. If you've already dived into the intrigues of the White Castle and added the new layers from Matcha, this pack brings a punctual and strategic upgrade.
The content is simple and straightforward: three new dice tiles. But don't be fooled by the simplicity; these tiles introduce the 'chasen' resource, adding another layer of management and possibilities to your planning. It's the kind of content that rewards players who love to optimize every move and squeeze the maximum efficiency out of the board.
A crucial point for collectors and enthusiasts: this pack is extremely rare. It was included only in the first printing of the Matcha expansion, packaged inside the box. In other words, if you didn't get it in the first batch, it now becomes a coveted item for those wanting the full game experience. If you already have it, just add it to the table and see how the new resource alters the struggle for power in the castle. If you don't, know that it's a small increment that refines the game's economy, but it requires the Matcha expansion to make any sense. It's the final touch for those who want to turn their match into an exercise of Japanese strategic precision.
