## Description
Hey folks! If you're a fan of Villagers and looking to spice up your gameplay, the "Shifting Seasons Stretch Goal Pack" is here. This little gem packs 19 brand-new cards to give your base game or the Shifting Seasons expansion an extra kick. You'll find new villagers to populate your hamlet, like the Miller and Baker, the Hatter, the Acquisitor (two of them!), the Spooner, the Glover, and the Naylor. Plus, there are three new developments to boost your town: the Aqueduct, the Pier, and the Monastery. For those who enjoy the solo Countess mode, there are two fresh event cards: "Bring It On!" and "Gambit." And to further assist you on your solitary journey, the Burglar and the Spy join the crew. To top it all off, four new events are ready to shake things up: "Youths," "Quality Goods," "Guilds," and "Heavy Snows." Originally a freebie for Kickstarter backers of Villagers: Shifting Seasons, this pack is now available for direct purchase while supplies last. It's the perfect chance for anyone seeking more variety and new strategies in their favorite game, whether you play solo or with friends.
