Emperor’s Favour
A market of six optional privilege tiles for the Hanseatic League board.
Short tag: [Favour]
What the module adds
The six tiles offer four persistent abilities and two endgame scoring bonuses. Their individual faces are pictured and explained in Cards & Components.
Setup changes
[Favour] Shuffle the six tiles face down. Reveal a number equal to the player count next to the Hanseatic League board; return the rest to the box. This module may be combined with Mission Cards.
Acquire a tile
[Favour] At the start of your turn, you may give up all actions for that turn to buy one face-up tile. Flip two unused bonus markers face down to the right of your desk as payment; they still count for final marker scoring. You may buy only one tile on a turn. Keep it face up in front of you.
