Endless Winter: Ceremonial Grounds Module is an expansion for Endless Winter: Paleoamericans released in 2022 for 1–4 players, 60–120 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Stan Kordonskiy and Drake Villareal.
Individually packaged module for Endless Winter. At the end of each Eclipse phase, players have the opportunity to take a Ceremonial Grounds card from those available in a supply, and immediately score it. These cards offer immediate points for certain achievements. You can gain a lot of points by meeting the criteria, but the catch is twofold: you can only score one of these cards per game—and you can no longer bury any cards thereafter! In order to signify this, the card is placed landscape orientation on top of your buried cards pile. Timing is key for playing these well: Too soon, you might not score very many points; too late, the card you most want might get taken and scored by an opponent.
Endless Winter: Ceremonial Grounds Module supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
