Isle of Skye Druiden
get assistance from druid powers
Clan Chieftains rival for the crown; if you manage your land best you will be crowned king 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, both behind your screen, then you set the screen aside. Now each player can buy one tile from any other player for the sum assigned to the tile, or pass; tiles that were not sold are kept by their owners. Then you add your tiles of the round to your land and score them according to the active scoring tiles of the round. After six rounds you score scrolls in your land.
Druiden introduces a Dolmen board, six new scoring tiles - they are shuffled with those of the core game - and ten stone tablets for special effects - you receive such a tablet one when you place a druid tile depicting this tablet. Five of 36 new druid tiles are displayed on the Dolmen board, the rest is stacked. The purchase phase has now two turns: In the first turn, you buy a tile from another player, as usual, and take remaining tiles. In the second turn, you buy a druid tile from the Dolmen board - with a fixed price plus a surcharge for its position on the board - or buy a landscape tile from the bag. At the end of the round, the rightmost tile on the Dolmen board is removed, the rest is shifted and a new tile is placed in the leftmost position. Druiden an be combined with the Journeyman expansion.
Basically, this expansion boosts the offers in the buying phase, albeit with very powerful and high-scoring effects that fit very nicely and harmoniously into the core game.
