Darwin's Journey: Golden Tent Mini-Expansion

Adds a movable golden tent token that players place on an available tent space when first used, immediately taking that space’s bonus after paying the coin penalty. On later uses, the tent relocates to a different tent space, freeing the prior spot and granting the new space’s bonus under the same conditions. Includes rules for initial placement and subsequent movement; available as an add-on or free for returning backers.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

How do I set up the Golden Tent tile and tent?

Shuffle the Special Action Tile with the other tiles during setup, and place the Golden Tent next to the Main Board. The tile works like the other Special Action Tiles (p. 1).

Where can I move the Golden Tent, and what do I do after moving it?

Move it to any empty Campsite slot that is not a Village, then perform the Establish Campsite action (p. 2).

Do I still pay the Coin penalty when I use the Golden Tent?

Yes. You must still pay the Coin penalty, if applicable (p. 2).

Can I move the Golden Tent to another slot in the same Campsite?

No. You cannot move it to a slot within the same Campsite (p. 2).

Does the Golden Tent stay where I put it?

Yes. It remains in that Campsite until you move it again by performing this action (p. 2).
