About the game
What you do in a play session
If you enjoy the vibe of *Tuscany: Expand Your Vineyards* and want to add an extra spice to your games, this small crossover promo expansion with *Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia* might be just the thing! These are promo cards that bring a special charm, but with a twist: they come with a negative passive effect that remains active all the time. Think carefully, because this effect can hinder your plans more than you might imagine!
But don't worry, it's not all bad! Each of these cards also offers a nice residual benefit that triggers at the end of each game year. It's like a 'necessary evil' that can help you turn the tables. The key here is precisely this trade-off: is it worth enduring the drawback of the negative effect to reap the rewards of the bonus later on? The answer will depend entirely on your strategy and how you are conducting your game. Building these structures is like any other in the game; you add them to your board and deal with the consequences. It's a small addition, but it adds an extra layer of decision-making and a touch of unpredictability that can make games even more interesting for those who already master the base game and are looking for something new.
