About the game
This is an expansion to California that is found on the back of Abacus Spiele's catalogs. Three new scoring cards are added to the game. They are: The first player to fulfill the conditions matching a bonus card already claimed by another player, takes this new wild bonus card instead. (1 point) The first player who obtains a gift takes this bonus card. (2 points) The first player who obtains two value 2 bonus cards takes this bonus card. (2 points). Unlike the postcard expansion, where you use only 1 out of the 3 new cards in each game, you use all the cards provided in this game. Also part of the expansion NEUE BONUSKARTEN.
