A single additional Saga card based upon the long forgotten theatrical performance by Birmingham Repertory Theatre in December 1971. The show was scripted by Oliver Postgate and sets and scenery designed by Peter Firmin. The image on the card is a photograph from the stage production. The Saga card when completed allows all players with at least one Nog on a supply card (on the Rings of Nudrug Saga) to select one character action from any character currently in the castle for no food cost. Players choose in order starting with the first Nog placed on the first supply card completed. Each player may only take this special bonus once regardless of how many of their Nogs are on the supply cards. This card was not a promotional item and never available as a free giveaway at a convention or with the base game. It was distributed personally by the designer as a thank you to people who made a significant contribution to the game. Card released 1st July 2019. —description from the publisher
