Papal Bulls (mini-expansion)

Ten Papal Bull cards, one per player: instant favours, favours that last until your next accusation, and permanent ones — or 2 Infamy if you never play it.

Short tag: [Bulls]

What it adds

Ten Papal Bull cards, issued by the Pope himself: each grants its holder a special permission that bends one rule. The mini-expansion comes in the Deluxe edition and was sold separately with the retail edition; its rules are on the Deluxe sheet (Red Mojo).

Setup changes

After the normal setup, deal one Papal Bull card at random to each player, face up beside their play area.

The ten Bulls

BullComponent details
Papal Bull: change Florins into Drachmas plus 2Kind: Instant Papal Bull; Effect: Change any number of Florin Florins into as many Drachma Drachmas, plus 2 more.
Papal Bull: family members from the Tower homeKind: Instant Papal Bull; Effect: Move any number of family members from your Tower to your home.
Papal Bull: send a Barrel to the supply panelKind: Instant Papal Bull; Effect: Send one Barrel from your Tower to your supply panel and score it, as if at the WALL.
Papal Bull: an extra accusationKind: Instant Papal Bull; Effect: Accuse a sinner exactly as in a Florence phase. Play it before your Hell phase or right after your Florence phase; the quartiere and Guest requirements still apply (FAQ).
Papal Bull: accuse without the GuestKind: Papal Bull active until your next accusation; Effect: When you accuse at a special location, you need no Guest of its colour; if you have one, your accuser may go anywhere in the Tower, not only on the Guest’s floor (FAQ).
Papal Bull: no entry requirementsKind: Papal Bull active until your next accusation; Effect: Ignore the entry requirements of the special locations until your next accusation (send a Noble to the MARKET, or save the Florin at the PALACE).
Papal Bull: collect Charon’s faresKind: Papal Bull active until your next accusation; Effect: Put the card beside the Graveyard. Every Drachma anyone pays to ferry a Soul across the Acheron goes on it; at your next accusation, take them all.
Papal Bull: a new supply panelKind: Permanent Papal Bull; Effect: Lay the card over your supply panel (moving any Barrels already delivered onto the same spots). At the WALL you may deliver a Barrel of any colour to any free space of the card and take that space’s reward.
Papal Bull: waive a Fraud card’s BarrelsKind: Permanent Papal Bull; Effect: When you play a Fraud card, put it on this Bull: it counts as having both its Barrels, for its instant and its endgame effect. You still choose one effect on each side, not both. Only one Fraud card per game (FAQ).
Papal Bull: extra Barrel storageKind: Permanent Papal Bull; Effect: A store for Barrels beside your board. New Barrels from the MARKET go here; at the COURTYARD you may move Barrels from your Tower into it, and at the WALL you may deliver straight from it.
