Revaluation Variant

A number of counters valued 1-5 (5 of each) are placed into a cloth bag. Any time you roll a double you can 'revalue' one of your paintings (if you have one).

You must choose which painting is being revalued before choosing a counter. Simply reach into the cloth bag and randomly draw out a counter but be careful that the other players don't see the counter.

The value of the painting is increased by the value of the counter multiplied by $100k. For example, a 5 increases the value of a painting by $500k. The same painting can be revalued multiple times. You can bluff opponents by revaluing a forgery but the painting is still worthless - a forgery is still a forgery! …

Your precious village is slowly uncovered and the stones that define your territory begin poking through.

The earth is soft and the stones could easily roll just a bit into your neighbor's village, granting you the extra space your clan needs. After all, no one will notice, right ?

Suddenly , an arrow whizzes past your ear! It seems that your neighbor had the same idea and is now pushing stones to enlarge his territory. …
