The Red Cathedral: Contractors – Promo 2

About this expansion

The Red Cathedral: Contractors – Promo 2 is a promotional addition for 1–4 players, with an approximately 80-minute play time. Released in 2022, it introduces four special Workshop tiles that provide more powerful actions whenever you visit the Market.

During setup, players choose one tile each, starting with the last player and finishing with the first. Any tiles left over are returned to the bag. During the game, when claiming a Cathedral section, you may discard the Workshop tile you would normally obtain and place your special Workshop tile instead.

Placing a special tile uses a changing cost rather than its usual cost. Pay Rubles equal to the number of available spaces remaining in your Workshop: six Rubles when placing your first tile with six empty spaces, two Rubles when only two spaces remain, and so on.

The four promotional effects offer different ways to improve your actions:

• Obtain 1 Diamond, with the same function described in the Jeweler’s Guild.
• Obtain 1 material of your choice and 1 Ruble.
• Activate the Market die of your choice.
• Activate any 1 of the 4 Guilds as usual.

These tiles create a valuable choice between taking the Workshop tile normally associated with a Cathedral section and paying for a stronger special effect. The Red Cathedral: Contractors – Promo 2 was included in the first print run of the game.
