About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! If you're a fan of Venice and want to add a special touch to your games, the "Nursery Promo Tile" is for you! This little piece, released as part of a special promo pack in 2022, enters the game by replacing one of the randomly determined buildings during setup. Just one detail: before setting up the mission deck, check which building was replaced and remove any missions intended for it, as the "Nursery" doesn't receive any of those.

But what does this new addition bring to the table? Basically, it adds some extra action options when you activate the space it occupies. There are four neat alternatives: gain any one resource (orange, silver, or purple), spend 1 Victory Point to send a resource to another player's boat (watch out for the drama!), promote an assistant on another building without activating it (thinking ahead!), or discard an Influence card to draw another one and gain 1 Victory Point. These are small additions that can change the course of the game, especially if you're playing solo or want to add some variety to your strategies.

This promo is a great way to give an extra boost to those who already love the base game of Venice, adding a bit of unpredictability and new tactical decisions. It's the kind of thing that makes us want to play again just to see how this new piece fits into different games. A small expansion that fits in your pocket and your box, but makes a nice difference to the experience!

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Is this "Nursery Promo Tile" a full expansion or just an extra component?
It's a promotional component that acts as a mini-expansion, replacing one of the base game's buildings to add new actions.
Do I need the base game "Venice" to use this tile?
Absolutely! This tile is an addition to the base game, so you need the base game to play with the "Nursery Promo Tile".
How many players does this promo support?
The "Nursery Promo Tile" can be used in any game of Venice, regardless of the player count (1-5), as it affects the available actions on the board.
What is the estimated playtime with this promo?
The playtime of Venice (60-90 minutes) doesn't change significantly with the addition of this tile, but the decisions might become a bit more interesting.
Is this promo hard to find?
As it was a special promotion (offered in 2022), it might be a bit harder to find now, being more common in secondary markets or if you're lucky at a specialty store.
Does this tile add a lot of complexity to the game?
No, the complexity is minimal. It only adds four new action options to an existing space, which is easy to learn and integrate into your strategies.
