About the game
If you're a fan of Troyes and think the base game is already great, get ready for a little something extra! These bonus cards, which have been included in more recent editions of the game, add a nice touch without messing with the original recipe. There are four cards that introduce new possibilities and a dash of strategic luck. You've got the Baker, rewarding you for having yellow dice scattered around town, and the Bishop, giving you an extra boost with a white die, making it count as two! The Banquet uses red dice to earn victory points, and the Resistance Event card can trigger an unexpected chain of events, calling other cards and even removing cubes from already active events. Originally released as promos, these cards were later included in subsequent editions, so if you have an older copy, you might be missing out on some extra fun. They don't radically change how you play but offer new synergies and interesting dilemmas, especially for those who have already mastered Troyes' strategies and are looking for a little boost in their games. It's like finding a secret shortcut or a special power you didn't know existed!
