## Description
Hey board game fans! If you enjoyed the original Triqueta and are looking to spice up your game nights, the Hidden Wolves expansion is here to add more excitement to the table. This little gem introduces wolves, some friendly critters who, unlike the animals that appear right away, prefer to hang back in the shadows. They only reveal themselves at the end of the game, but boy, when they do, they're worth a ton of points, especially if you can fit them into a perfect triqueta. 

But heads up: these wolves don't come alone. Along with them, one of each other animal is also hiding in the shadows. This means grabbing these 'hidden' animal tokens isn't easy; there's always a risk involved. The expansion adds 15 of these shadow animal tokens, increasing possibilities and tension each round. 

And for those who play with two, there's a surprise that will blow you away: an exclusive variant for this player count that makes the game super dynamic and fun. Seriously, if you thought Triqueta was cool, this two-player version with the wolves is a showstopper. It’s the kind of expansion that not only adds more strategy but also renews the experience, bringing that fresh feeling without overcomplicating things. Perfect for those who want more depth and that touch of surprise at the end.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base game Triqueta to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you need to own the original Triqueta game to use the new wolf tokens and rules.

### How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion itself adds elements usable for all base game player counts (2-5), but it includes a special variant that makes the 2-player game even more engaging.

### Does the expansion make the game more complicated?
It adds a new strategic layer with the wolves and shadow collection, but the rules are quite straightforward. It doesn't significantly increase overall complexity, keeping the playtime similar.

### What are the shadow animal tokens?
These are special tokens that include wolves and other animals. They appear at the end of the game and are worth a lot of points, but acquiring them involves some risk, as you don't know exactly what you'll get.

### Is it worth buying if I only play with 2 people?
Absolutely! The 2-player variant is one of the expansion's major highlights, making the experience at that count even more fun and strategic.

### Does this expansion come in newer versions of Triqueta?
Yes, some newer versions of the base game (from 2024 onwards) already include this expansion as part of the package.
