Expansion: New Hex Tiles

The four extra hex tiles of The Castles of Burgundy: the bridge and workers monasteries (27, 28), the crane and the geese.

Short tag: [Tiles]

Four extra hex tiles that slot into the normal piles. They need no other rule change and suit any game, including a first game with the expansions.

What it adds

PictureTile, pile and effect
Monastery 27: the bridgeYellow — Your bridge piece is always on top of a stack FAQ
Monastery 28: workersYellow — Buy 2 workers for 1 silver FAQ
The craneBlack (building) — Use any building’s effect; counts as any building at the end FAQ
The geeseBlack (livestock) — when placed, score 2 VP plus one other animal type in that pasture; later livestock there scores the geese again for 2 VP

Setup changes

Shuffle the two monasteries into the yellow pile and the crane and geese into the black pile before the game. Nothing else changes.

The bridge monastery

monastery (yellow tile) Monastery 27. While it is in your duchy, whenever your bridge piece is in a stack, it is on top — both when you move onto a stack and when someone else moves onto yours.

[Shields] A later printing of the rules says shield 6 cannot copy the bridge monastery (FAQ).

The workers monastery

monastery (yellow tile) Monastery 28. While it is in your duchy you may buy worker chip workers from the supply: 2 workers for 1 silver, as often as you can pay.

The crane

crane Crane (black-backed building). When you place it you may at once use the effect of any one building, even one not in your duchy — sell goods as a warehouse, take 2 silver as a bank, fetch a castle as a church, and so on.

At final scoring the crane also counts as one building of your choice for monasteries 16–23 and 29 — not necessarily the one you copied.

The geese

geese Geese (black-backed livestock). When you place them in a pasture you score 2 VP plus the points of one other animal type already in that pasture. Afterwards, each time you add a livestock tile to that pasture, the geese score 2 VP again. For monastery 24 the geese are an extra livestock type.
