Description

Brettspiel Adventskalender 2015 is pretty much what the name says it is: A board game advent calendar for 2015. It contains 24 small expansions for 24 different games, from 21 different publishers.

The game rules are not included, but are posted separately on the publisher's web site, on each day from December 1st to 24th.

1. Catan Scenarios: Santa Claus - Give Santa Claus 1 wool as a gift and you can set him on any landscape to get a gift token for any Settlement or town (or 2 tokens on Santa's house). If you give him 2 wool, he can expel the robber. 2 gift tokens can be exchanged for a resource.
2. Fields of Arle: Advent Calendar Expansion - Included are 3 German language tiles giving the following Abilities:
   • Torfbrandziegelei: Immediately (and only after building this Peat-Fired Brickworks), per Shovel you have, you may exchange 1 Clay and 1 Peat for 1 Brick.
   • Torfkraftwerk: When you build the Peat Power Plant (and only that once), you can remove any number of Moor Tiles from your Home Board. For each Moor Tile that you remove via this ability, you receive 2 Food. (Also remove the Peat from the Moor Tiles, if any.)
   • Vierspänner: 1 Triple Space for Vehicle Actions (bigger version: 1 additional Single Space). Like Double Spaces, the Triple Space cannot hold tiles that are smaller than the space (e.g. you cannot place Linen there). In the bigger version, you can cover both the Triple and Single Space with one tile of size 4.
3. Colt Express: North Pole Station - Included is a single Train Station card. At the end of the game, each Bandit gives his highest purse to the imp.
4. Las Vegas: The Slot Machine - Included is a seventh casino. The slot machine is treated as the seventh casino, using the same rules as the other casinos, with the following three exceptions:
   1. Dice placed on the slot machine can show any number, 1-6.
   2. A player must place all dice of one number. However, the number on the dice must be different than the numbers already on the slot machine.
   3. If two or more players have tied for the most dice placed on the slot machine, the winner is the player whose dice have the highest sum. If that players’ dice have the same sum, the player with the higher single die wins first choice.

In turn order all other players may then pay 1 coin to the bank to purchase 1 of the discarded tiles and add it to their zoo.
10. Orléans: Christmas Market - Included are a Christmas Market tile and 2 20 coin tokens. In addition a single six-sided die is needed. When you activate the Christmas Market, roll the six-sided die. The result determines the bonus you will be getting.

20. The Castles of Burgundy: The Cloisters - Included are 5 cloister tokens. Each round, place one cloister (in place of a black-backed tile) onto the central black depot. A cloister can be bought from the central black depot for 2 Silverlings, and is then placed onto an empty storage space. A cloister can then be placed onto an empty space in the player’s estate that is adjacent to at least one previously placed tile and that matches the number on the player’s die.

22. Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King: New Scoring Tiles - Included are 2 Scoring tiles. One provides 3 VPs for each horizontal line of at least 3 contiguous land­scape tiles in the clan territory. The other provides VPs for one of your scrolls. If the scroll is in a completed area, you receive double the VPs for it.
23. Carcassonne: Winter Edition: Corn Circles - Included are 6 landscape tiles. When a player draws a corn circle landscape tile, he first places the tile according to the basic rules and completes a normal turn. Then, he chooses one of the following for all players to do:
    1. Place a follower from his supply on a tile where he already has a follower.
    2. Remove a follower from a tile and return it to his supply.
24. Power Grid: High-Voltage DC Transmission Passage C - Included are 6 transmission line tiles. Germany plans a new high-voltage transmission line from North Germany to South Germany. In this mini-expansion you are building this transmission line, so step by step your power companies do not need to pay connection costs anymore between Cuxhaven and Stuttgart. Sadly, the construction of this transmission line is paid with tax money, so you must pay taxes for supplying cities with electricity.
