About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a Tiletum fan and feel like the base game could use a little extra spice right from the start, these promo cards are your golden ticket! Don't let the name 'Promo Cards' fool you; we're not talking about mere cosmetic accessories here, but a powerful tool to inject asymmetry into your gaming sessions.
The real strength of this set lies in its ability to shake up the initial setup. Instead of everyone starting under identical conditions, these four cards allow each player to adopt a slightly different identity. You'll position your architect and merchant in specific ways as indicated by the cards, granting you unique starting bonuses. It’s that wonderful feeling of knowing your path to victory will look different from your neighbor's right from the first minute.
However, keep an eye on the balance: this asymmetry comes with a crucial economic adjustment. To compensate for the early-game advantages, the game tweaks the starting gold for other players. If you are playing as the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th player, your starting gold is reduced to 2, 3, or 4 coins, respectively. This creates a much tighter and more strategic 'race against time' and resource management dynamic.
In short, this is essential content for anyone seeking higher replayability. If you love testing different strategies and want to prevent every Tiletum session from feeling like a carbon copy of the last, these cards are the perfect upgrade. They add layers of decision-making right at the setup phase, ensuring that economic planning and piece positioning are vital from the very first die roll. It's the kind of item that turns a standard game into a personalized and much more dynamic experience!
