Le Sorcier met la Zizanie (fan expansion for Les Charlatans de Belcastel)

Description

--- This expansion for Charlatans of Belcastel adds player interactivity through wizard-tampered potion recipes, inserted between preparation and scoring phases without altering the base game. Key mechanics include: - *Supplemental phase* Played exclusively between potion preparation and scoring, leaving the core game unchanged. - *Enchanted scrolls* Wizard's servants slip tampered recipes into Charlatans' belongings, triggering effects during potion prep. - *Ripple effects* Unpredictable consequences from reading tampered recipes spread trouble among all players. - *Increased interactivity* Directly fosters player interaction via shared disruptions. - *Expansion compatibility* Works with official expansions, though none are required. This expansion supplements Charlatans of Belcastel without modifying its basic rules, inserting a dedicated phase between potion preparation and scoring. Thematically, the wizard disapproves of bazaar activities and has servants discreetly place enchanted scrolls with tampered recipes into players' belongings. When a Charlatan reads such a recipe during potion preparation, it unleashes unpredictable consequences that ripple outward, stirring trouble among all Charlatans and heightening player interactivity. It is fully compatible with official expansions, which are optional. ---
