Each customer requires a specific resource to be served, and the expenditure is converted into prestige points at game end. The first customer, the Beggar, asks for just two coins; once paid you take the tile and earn 5 prestige points. The second appears only with the Village Inn expansion: it demands a beer barrel and grants 1 prestige point for every villager card showing a burned‑out candle. The third requires the Village Port expansion; it wants a treasure chest that hasn't been turned into money, worth 7 prestige points at the end. The fourth customer asks for two green influence cubes, rewarding 3 prestige points. The expansion keeps the same worker placement and set collection mechanics of the base game, but adds resource‑investment decisions that can shift the final strategy. It's perfect for players who already enjoy Village and want more scoring options without inflating the 75‑minute playtime. With only four tiles, the learning curve is tiny, yet the choice of which customers to serve can be decisive, especially in games with 2‑5 players. In short, a lightweight mini‑expansion that enriches the experience without overcomplicating it. ## FAQ ### How many players can use the expansion? It works with 2 to 5 players, just like the base game. ### Do I need Village Inn or Village Port to play? Not required, but two of the four customers can only be served if you own those expansions. ### How much extra time does it add? The game still runs about 75 minutes; choosing customers may add a few minutes, but not much. ### What components are included? Four customer tiles, resource markers (coins, beer barrel, treasure chest, green influence cubes) and a rule sheet. ### Is it beginner‑friendly? Absolutely. The rules are straightforward and build on familiar Village mechanics.
