¡Adiós Calavera!: Echar una Mano! is an expansion for ¡Adiós Calavera! released in 2023 for 2–3 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Harald Mücke and its main mechanics are Deduction and Moving Multiple Units.
Sancho & Panza - The load bearers Choose an adjacent figure to be "piggybacked". Piggyback means you place the chosen figure on top of the load bearer The load bearer takes the piggyback figure with him. At the end of the bearer's movement, the piggyback figure is placed adjacent again. Then flip the load bearer over to the empty side. This now counts as a normal figure with a -1 effect. The player has -1 movement points for the next turn and in this phase the load bearer moves like a figure with no special effect, except for the -1 effect. You flip the load bearer every time the figure moves, even if it was moved by the effects of other figures, and even if the load bearer is turned to the -1 side. Examples: 1. Load bearer takes a figure piggyback, turn the figure over to -1 afterwards. 2. As a -1 marker, the figure moved, then turn the figure over to the load bearer side 3, Loader has been moved or shifted by the effect of another figure, then flip the figure
