Kathmandu: Queenie 2 is an expansion for Kathmandu released in 2024 for 2–4 players. It was designed by Stefan Feld.
In addition to the character cards from the base game, you now have the option to choose from 3 additional character cards. With these new characters you will receive 1 of each resource, 1 additional resource of your choice, and 3 starting equipment cards at the start of the game. Characters includes: Scout, Thief, and Photographer Scout: Once per day, the Scout can add the value of the black die to another die, increasing the number of steps their yak can move. They must stack both dice on one dice space of their player board. They still only receive the resource from the non-black die. Thief: When the Thief ends their movement on a space with another player's yak, they may either steal 1 equipment card from that player (without swapping a map) or steal 1 resource and swap 1 map with them. Photographer: Once during the game, the Photographer can place 1 resource from their supply on their character card. From that point on, that type of resource counts as a wild resource for them.
Kathmandu: Queenie 2 supports 2–4 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.
