About the game
Tallinn: The Assembly consists of twelve small figures, four each in red, yellow and blue. If you trigger a contest during the round, after resolving those contests you can take a small figure from the supply that doesn't match the faction in which you triggered a contest. These small figures have no effect during the game, but at the end of the game, each small figure counts as an additional symbol for the matching faction during the final faction row contests.
