About the game
Mini-expansion that introduces three new Professions, each with their own powers and scoring conditions. Bankers can steal coins from other players' vaults, and they love when you use money to influence people. Merchants multiple your profits when you gain coins, and they reward a focus on one door color. Doctors are welcome everywhere, allowing you to switch doors from one place to another and they award points directly at the end of the game. New Professions comes with rules for integrating it into your games, creating whole new cardplay possibilities.
