About the game
The Foragers: Worker-Placement Expansion pack infuses a worker-placement mechanic into the base game; on each turn, players now must choose from a limited number of common actions. In the original game, players chose actions from their own action cards, making the majority of player interaction occur by pawn movement. The use of new common action cards therefore creates more player interaction. The pack consists of 11 total cards. 9 Rotating Action Cards 1 Turn Order Card 1 Reference Card There will be no printed rules, but they will be provided in a PDF file.
