Isle of Skye Wanderer
enter: The Journeyman!
Clan Chieftains rival for the crown; if you manage your realm best, you will be crowned king of the Isle with most victory points. A round starts with income from castle and whisky. Then you draw three tiles, mark one for discarding and assign gold to the others, before setting the screen aside. Now each player can buy one tile from any other player for the sum assigned to the tile, or pass; unsold tiles are kept by their owners. Then you add acquired tiles of the round to your land and score according to the active scoring tiles of the round. After six rounds you also score scrolls in your land.
In the expansion, you are King of the Isle and must reign, protect Skye from enemies, enforce the law and fill your coffers, all with the help of your journeyman, and of other new characters. You have a personal progress board with progress tracks for knight, town crier and merchant, your journeyman pawn and bonus tiles; there are also roads and new landscape tiles and new scoring tiles. After placing acquired landscape tiles, you plan the movement of your journeyman by placing path markers and then move him in turn order. Progress on the tracks gives you victory point bonuses, special points, additional income, more steps for the journeyman and bonus tiles; all of this but immediate victory point gains, can only be used in the phase following the unlocking.
Isle of Skye Wanderer / Journeyman upgrades the flow of play in Skye to a much more complex level; you need to keep an eye on the journeyman as well as on your scoring tiles, and there are more options for various strategies. This is exactly how an expansion should work!
