## Description
Villagers: Playmat & Promo Cards arrives in 2019 with a practical and fun touch. The 30x70 cm neoprene playmat, edge‑bound and rounded corners, adds a quality feel and keeps the board organized while you pick up cards. The pack includes two new villagers – the Plower, which helps with planting, and the Scribe, which records your achievements – ready to be shuffled into your deck at any player count. For solo fans, there’s a helper card that reminds you of the turn structure, easing single‑player play. And, of course, five replacement cards fix printing errors from the first run, ensuring your game stays pristine. It’s an essential accessory for those who already own the base, but also a low‑cost way to try Villagers for the first time. The material is durable, the vibrant color fits any table, and the design that eases card handling keeps the game flowing smoothly. If you love building medieval towns, collecting components, and want a solid solo mode, this playmat and promo cards are the right pick to elevate the experience.

Villagers remains a card game that blends open drafting and set collection, where each player tries to build the most prosperous village. The playmat helps you visualize production spaces, while the promo cards bring new villager options that broaden strategy. For those who already know the base, the pack offers a quick way to diversify and test new combos without buying a full expansion. If you haven’t got the game yet, the playmat and promo cards are a small investment that can open doors to a richer experience.

In short, Villagers: Playmat & Promo Cards is the perfect blend of practicality, aesthetics, and light expansion – ideal for keeping the game organized and exploring new villagers and solo modes.
