Event Module

Maestro's Event module for experienced players: setup, when Events act, and the ten pairs of early (I–II) and late (III–IV) Event cards.

Setup

As the last step of setup, sort the 20 Event cards into a I–II deck and a III–IV deck, shuffle each and turn the top card of the I–II deck face up beside the main board. Recommended once you know the game.

During the round

Each Event changes the Action phase or the Exhibition phase of its round. Early Events (rounds 1–2) give you tools; late Events (rounds 3–4) give extra points. Most act at the start of the Exhibition phase; majority ties go to the Workshop farther on the Study track (marker underneath on the same space).

At the end of the Exhibition phase, remove the Event card and the Event marker (if on the map), then turn up a card from the deck for the next round: I–II for round 2, III–IV for rounds 3 and 4.

Event cards

Each pair shares a theme; the card shows the regions concerned by their map symbol. Every card face is pictured on Cards & Components.
