Expansion for  The Castles of Burgundy

New expansion from the Spiel fair in 2012

This expansion consists of 4 new hexes (Park, Goats, Sequential Order, Worker tiles) that are mixed into the corresponding supplies (black and yellow).

Park (Building/Beige): When a player adds the park to their estate, it can function as any building. For example, sell some goods (warehouse), or take 2 silverlings (bank), etc.
At the end of the game, the park may be additionally used per the corresponding knowledge tiles (16-23), as any single building (even if different than originally declared) for scoring purposes.

Goats (Animal/Light Green): A player adding the goats to their estate counts them as any animal (swine, for example.) If other animal tiles are later added to that pasture, the goats will always count as 2 additional Victory Points, even if as a different animal type than originally scored.
At the end of the game, the goats also count as an additional animal type for knowledge tile 24.

Sequential Order (Yellow): The player who adds this yellow tile to their estate is now always at the top in the sequential order lineup with their playing piece. This is the case whether actively or passively (even if another playing piece would get there and normally be on top.)

Worker Tiles (Yellow): When a player adds this yellow tile to their estate, they can now purchase worker tiles from the general supply at any time. The cost is 1 silverling for 2 tiles.

NOTE: You must have the base game The Castles of Burgundy to enjoy this expansion.

Adds interesting new content to an already excellent game!

Castles of Burgundy is one of my family's favourite Stefan Feld titles and I was curious to see what the various expansions bring, but most of them are not readily available unless you buy the new edition. Almost no added complexity. The ability to buy workers for silver can prove very useful when you've got some to spare, but the dice aren't agreeing with you. The goats make going after the technology tile that rewards for different livestock even more lucrative. The park adds a bit more flexibility when completing beige regions. I haven't really felt any great benefit from the sequential order tile in the games I've played with it thus far.

Small but enjoyable expansion

If you like the base game, this only enhances it.
