The second mini-expansion for *A Feast for Odin* introduces new components and variant rules to enhance gameplay. New 1x1 tiles comprise berries (orange), eggs (red), amber (green), and gullgubber (blue). The Isle of Mull B-exploration board, accessible via the 1 Viking Exploration action, offers increasing income up to 4 silver, 9 VP, and bonuses like salt meat, ore, wood, goldgubber, egg, stone, and a unique 6-space altar tile (1x4+1x2) exclusive to this board, unavailable via purchase, forging, or plundering. Its backside features the (half-)island Caithness, obtainable with the 3 Viking Exploration action, providing up to 5 silver income, 24 VP, and bonuses of fur, amber, stone, sword. New variants include randomized harvests using 8 tokens (identical backs; fronts: 4 blank, one each of 1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4), revealed sequentially at game start and post-harvest for each round. Resource markers consist of 10 double-sided pieces; players select 1 in 7-round games or 2 in 6-round games during reverse turn order setup, flipping them in the harvest phase (if applicable) for depicted bonuses. The accelerated start variant for 6-round games begins players with a pre-built artisan shed and 3 extra silver for heightened excitement. Additionally, it recommends removing 8 overly strong occupation cards (banned) and 30 more specialized ones to promote balanced, engaging draws. ---
