Index Of Building Tiles

During setup, place the Small Houses on the four spaces at the top of the Game Board (indicated by their green color). All of the Small Houses have the same building costs and are each worth 1 Victory Point (VP).

For your first play, we recommend you use the light green Starter Houses. If you build more than one of these Houses, you may decide in which order you use them rig ht before the November Inventorying. The Small Houses in detail:

• Farmer's House

  Worth: 1 VP.

  Ability: Before November (at the end of each Summer Half Year), you receive 1 Clay.

  Additionally, you may cut 1 Peat before each November (including the one before final scoring). (You may not take the Peat from the general supply. You must take it off one of your Moor Tiles).

• Plow Maker's Workshop

  Worth: 1 VP.

  Ability: Before November (at the end of each Summer Half Year), you may place 1 Field of your choice on an empty Land Space of your Home Board (below your Dike Line). You are not required to place a Field. (If you do not, you cannot do so later, retroactively).

For subsequent plays, choose 4 of the following dark green Small Houses to play with. (Their back side allows you to differenciate between both types of green).

Each of the Small Houses can be used at any time during the game (especially the Work Phase). (Their abilities may seem a little challenging when using them for the first time.

Therefore, we recommend you use the Weaving Parlor, Colonist's House, Carpenter's Work- shop, and Schnapps Distillery in your first game with the dark green Buildings).

Index Of Travel Destination Tiles

Keep in mind that you may only place a Travel Destination Tile on one of your Vehicles if you immediately sell at least one of the depicted items. Each item on the tile can only be sold once.

You cannot sell things that are not depicted on the tile. The proceeds from the sale are always some amount of Food. (Keep in mind that you cannot store more than 30 Food).

Food is needed primarily for the "Waterfront House" Building, the Large Buildings and Inns, and, of course, for Sustenance.

The size of each tile (i.e. the number of spaces it requires on your Vehicle) is given in parentheses. The Travel Experience Track on the left side of your Home Board has 19 spaces.

When you remove a Travel Destination Tile from a Vehicle and place it on that track, it will cover 1-4 of these spaces according to its size.

The travel destination tiles in detail:

• Hage (1): Immediately remove a Field from your Home Board and receive 1 Food.

• Beemoor (1): Remove 1 Peat from your supply (but not from your Home Board) and receive 2 Food.

• Dornum (1): Return a Plow from your Barn to the Supply Board and receive 8 Food.

• Emden (3): Sell 1 to 4 of the depicted items. You receive 7 Food each for Winter and Leather Wear, and 6 Food for Summer Wear. Additionally or alternatively, you can remove 1 Peat from your supply (but not from your Home Board) and receive 3 Food.

  Additionally or alternatively, you may remove a Moor Tile from your Home Board (regardless of which side is facing up and whether there is still Peat left on it or not, including the small Moor Tile that had Peat since the beginning of the game).

  Remove the tile immediately. The Peat from the tile, if any, is lost. You do not receive any Food for this but, on the other hand, you will not lose points for the tile.
