| What it adds | A modular action board that changes with player count and adds a fifth column for your last action each round, four new exploration boards, two new animals (pigs and horses), a personal artisan shed for each player and the option to discard unwanted occupation cards for victory points. | Randomised harvests (eight harvest tokens drawn each round), nine double-sided harvest resource tokens, new 1x1 tiles (berries, eggs, amber, gullgubber), the Isle of Mull / Caithness exploration board, an accelerated start for the 6-round game and a list of occupation cards to remove. |
| What it fixes | Tightens the loose two-player board, removes the rush for a single exploration board and rebalances weak and overpowered action spaces. | Adds unpredictability to the fixed harvest schedule and gives the short 6-round game a stronger opening. |
