If you're a fan of Village and feel like it could use a little extra spice, the 'Customer Expansion' (or 'Bonus Customers', as some call it) brings exactly that: more customers for your village! It includes four new tiles that add a dash of strategy and more scoring opportunities at the end of the game. We've got a customer you can grab for free, though it might still cost you a green influence cube and some time – they grant you 1 prestige point at the end. Another one requires a scroll, but rewards you with 1 prestige point for every two customers you've served, which can be quite interesting if you focus on it. There's also that customer who makes you return the first player marker to the town hall, but rewards you with 3 prestige points – quite a strategic trade-off! And to top it off, a customer that asks for a horse and an ox, but grants you a hefty 7 prestige points. This expansion doesn't add many new rules, focusing instead on expanding scoring possibilities and interaction with the resources you already have in the base game. It's a cool way to give Village a boost without overcomplicating things. Perfect for those who want more variety in their games and to explore new paths to victory. It's a promotional expansion, so it can be a neat find for the game's most dedicated fans! ## FAQ ### Does this expansion significantly change the rules of Village?
