Ready to give your Tiny Towns a little boost? These two promos, the FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store) and Larkstone, are here to add some fresh flavor to your little town. The Larkstone card is a Monument that comes into play at the end, and its scoring is based on how many players you've surpassed. The more people you leave behind, the more points you get! It's a cool way to turn the tables if you're trailing. The FLGS card, on the other hand, is more straightforward: a guaranteed point, with extra bonuses if you nail the arrangement of your Yellow Buildings and have a good number of Cottages. Think carefully about where you place these pieces! These cards add an extra layer of strategy without overcomplicating things, keeping the essence of Tiny Towns that we already love. They're great for those who've already mastered the base game and want an extra challenge, or for those who like having more options when planning their town. Adapting them to Portuguese is quite smooth, but it's worth having a quick guide handy to avoid mistakes during scoring. If you enjoy optimizing your space and thinking long-term, these promos are for you! ## FAQ ### Do I need the base Tiny Towns game to use these cards? Yes, absolutely! These are promo cards that expand the Tiny Towns base game, so you need the base game to play with them. ### How many players can use these cards? The cards work for all players, from 1 to 6, and the Larkstone card's scoring even takes the player count into account. ### Do these cards make the game harder? They add more strategic options, which might increase complexity for newcomers, but they don't drastically change the overall difficulty of Tiny Towns. ### Do I need to translate the cards? We recommend having a printed translation of the rules or cards, especially for the Larkstone card, to ensure scoring is done correctly. ### Are they worth it for solo players? Yes! The Larkstone card, in particular, can offer a new dynamic for the solo mode, depending on how you integrate it into your strategies. ### How much time do they add to the game? The playtime doesn't change much, maybe a few extra minutes the first time you use the cards to figure out the scoring.
