About the game
Wandering Characters This set contains 7 Wandering Character miniatures each one with its own rules (and sometimes, tiles and tokens). 4 of them are randomly placed on the main gameboard at the beginning of the game and can be activated by the players to get special bonuses (different per each Character). When you decide to activate a Character, you must first of all move it to another empty space on the board . Choose carefully where to place the Character, because you might help the next player going after you, since they can use the Wandering Character just like you did!
