About the game
These are 6 bonus cards that add to the game play options and create a whole new aspect to the game. They are an interesting way to spice up your interactions and help in developing strategies. These extra effects allow you to discover new ways of influencing the outcome of the game. Before beginning the first round of the game, the player with the season/priority token takes 3 random cards from the pool of extra effects cards that have been obtained for Dice Brewing. Then these 3 cards are placed face up above the recipe cards, side by side, and the effects themselves can be used in every round by any of the players for the rest of the game.
