Skulls of Sedlec: Merchants

About this expansion

Skulls of Sedlec: Merchants is a six-card expansion for 1-4 players, with games taking about 20 minutes. It adds a new type of skull to the game: the Merchant.

Merchants are captains of industry who have tried to take their wealth with them. They profit from being placed next to Peasants, but they are vulnerable to neighboring Criminals. This creates a tempting target for Criminals and makes Merchant placement especially important.

Unlike most skulls, Merchants can cause you to lose points when placed poorly. A Merchant beside helpful Peasants can contribute to your score, while an unfortunate position next to Criminals can turn that same card into a liability. Keep an eye on your money, or your carefully built collection may leave you buried in debt.

• Adds six Merchant cards to the game
• Introduces scoring for adjacent Peasants
• Applies a penalty for adjacent Criminals
• Adds the ability to play with a fourth player

Adding the expansion is simple: shuffle the Merchant cards into the base game before playing. The cards blend directly into the existing game while introducing new placement considerations and another way to manage risk.

Skulls of Sedlec: Merchants is also fully compatible with the solo expansion, Skulls of Sedlec: Monstrance. Whether played with one player or a full group of four, this compact expansion makes every neighboring skull matter.
