About the game
The Teacher When using the Teacher, you must use its yellow side during round 1-3, and the red one during round 4. When playing with the Teacher, you will be the first player to choose a character next turn, no matter when you pass this round. Cash limit: $60. Red side (only available in the last round): During the final scoring, you get 2 victory points for each School, Prison, or Church you own, and you also get 2 victory points if you don’t own any Saloon(s). Cash limit: $60. Town Hall Use this tile instead of a generic red house tile to depict the starting location of Carson City at the start of the game. --- Note: As these are included in the Big Box of Carson City, this small expansion is meant for owners of the base game. The Teacher was also a giveaway together with the Lawyer/Editor at Essen but without the Townhall.
