How Traders & Builders changes play
Traders & Builders
- Setup: shuffle the 24 new tiles in, put the 20 goods tokens (wine, grain, cloth) by the board, and give each player a builder and a pig.
- Trade goods: when a tile completes a city with goods symbols, its placer takes one token per symbol after the city scores, even with no knight there. At game end, the most tokens of each good score 10; tied players each score 10.
- Builder: instead of a meeple, place it on a road or city of the new tile where you have a meeple. It doesn't count for majorities. It goes home when you have no meeple there.
- Builder's second tile: extending that feature later gives you a second tile at once, a full turn with meeple and scoring, never a third.
- Pig: instead of a meeple, place it in a field of the new tile where you have a farmer. It doesn't count for majority and goes home if your last farmer there leaves. When you score that field, each completed city is worth 4, not 3.
