About this expansion

Orléans: Christmas Market is a 2015 promotional addition for 2–4 players, introducing a Christmas Market tile, coin tokens, and a six-sided die to the Orléans experience.

When the Christmas Market is activated, roll the die to determine which bonus becomes available. Results from 1 to 5 let you take the indicated Goods Tile from the Goods Market, while a result of 6 gives your Merchant a move by road.

If the Merchant moves on a roll of 6, you also collect a Goods Tile from the path when applicable. This creates a compact random reward that can provide either a specific market good or an opportunity to advance along the roads.

  • One Christmas Market tile
  • Two 20-coin tokens
  • One six-sided die required for play
  • Goods rewards on rolls 1–5
  • A road move, with a possible path Good, on a roll of 6

The two 20-coin tokens are part of the addition. If you are playing with limited money and want to use these coins, remove 40 coins from the bank before the game begins.

Originally contained as Day 10 of Brettspiel Adventskalender 2015, Orléans: Christmas Market was later included in Orléans – Promo Ortskarten Nr. 1. It offers a focused new activation effect built around a simple die roll and two distinct kinds of benefit.
