Description

--- <TLDR> Falmouth expansion enables redeeming Special Ships and Horses via Objective tiles for advanced, coin-paid movement through Correspondence or Academy roof actions. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Redeeming special pieces* Players complete Objective tiles to unlock Special Ship pieces and Horses. - *Replacement on tracks* Special Ship replaces one Ship on the Ocean track; Horse replaces one Explorer. - *Roof placement* Unlocking requires placing a roof over the corresponding space, depicting either a Correspondence Action or Academy Action. - *Advancement mechanism* Performing the roof's depicted action allows advancing the Special Ship or Horse 1-4 spaces by paying 1-4 coins, granting a bonus action upon completion. The Falmouth expansion introduces a new mechanism where players redeem Special Ship pieces and Horses by completing Objective tiles, with the Special Ship replacing one of their Ships on the Ocean track and the Horse replacing one of their Explorers. Upon unlocking, players place a roof over the corresponding space, which depicts either a Correspondence Action or an Academy Action. When executing the action shown on the Roof tile, players can advance their Special Ship or Horse 1-4 spaces by expending 1-4 coins, after which they gain the bonus action associated with completing the advancement. ---
