How to Play Trickerion: The Secret Workshop

Game Objective

In Trickerion: The Secret Workshop, players expand their strategic possibilities by adding a new location to the main board. The goal is to use this space during the Place Characters phase to perform the exclusive Expert Preparations action, allowing you to prepare tricks more efficiently through the use of Action Points (AP).

Setup

To set up the game with this expansion, follow the step below:

• Place the Secret Workshop card next to the main board, ensuring it is within reach of all players.

Game Flow

The Secret Workshop is a new location that can be used during the Place Characters phase. The flow rules are:

• Only one character may be assigned to this location.
• To access this location, the player must use any Workshop assignment card (including Special Assignment cards).
• When assigned to this location, the character gains +1 Action Point (AP).
• The normal Workshop actions are NOT available at this location.

Actions and How to Play

By occupying the Secret Workshop, the player has access to an exclusive action:

• Expert Preparations: For each Action Point (AP) spent, the player may place a Trick Marker on one of their Tricks (provided the component requirement is met).
• This action can be performed regardless of the original AP cost of the Trick preparation or whether there are already other Trick Markers on that trick.

Tips for Winning

• Take advantage of the +1 Action Point bonus granted to the character assigned to the Secret Workshop to accelerate the preparation of your tricks.
• Use the Expert Preparations action to bypass the AP preparation costs of your Tricks, focusing on placing Trick Markers even on cards that already have markers.
