Die Damen von Troyes

Five Modules for Troyes

Die Damen von Troyes is the first expansion for Troyes and offers us five different modules:

Module 1 is made up of new character cards including the three ladies; Jeanne de Champagne, Isabeau de Bavière and Marie de Champagne earn you different numbers of victory points depending on the number of citizens or other points that you have earned. Module 2 comprises 27 new action cards - nine military, nine civil and nine religious cards - with new card types for mixed effects or effects for final scoring; you can use them alone or with those of the core game. If you use such a card with mixed effects, you decide if you want to place cubes on the card or if you want to use a cube already on the card to apply the effect of the card. You can only use one cube from the card per turn. In Module 3 you find new event cards to combine with the event deck from the core game - Wolves, Harsh Winter, Chief Outlaw, Uprising, Monk and Possession. Module 4 - Head of Family; for each player a purple die is added. You cannot buy those dice and the color of the die is determined at the time when the die is used. Module 5 - City Ramparts and Guards and Outdoor Activities; the guard moves along the wall; as soon as he reaches or passes a City Gate you have access to the outdoor activities made available by this gate for the rest of the game. Altogether there are 16 such outdoor activities.

The Ladies of Troy offers a dense and complex expansion, which offers excellent play in each combination of the modules and which enhances the allure of play and thus also the with the play again as opposed to the core game alone.
