About the game

What you do in a play session

The 'Poison Pill' promo tile for Whistle Stop was originally available at DicetowerCon 2018 and adds an interesting strategic layer to the base game. It functions as a gear tile that can be placed on the board. When another player gains a stock that you own, they must pay you a common or rare resource. If they don't have a resource to pay, they can't gain that stock. This introduces a new dynamic to the game, encouraging players to think twice before making decisions that benefit their opponents. It's a small expansion, but one that can significantly change how you play Whistle Stop, especially if you enjoy more interactive and competitive strategies.
