About the game
Promo card that was given for free as part of the Pocket Dragon Kickstarter-campaign. Setup: Place this card next to the main board, within reach of all players. Gameplay: This is a new location to use during the Place Characters phase. A single character can be assigned here (that gains +1 Action Point), by using any Workshop assignment card (including Special Assignment cards). The normal Workshop actions are NOT available here, but instead a new Action is available: Expert Preparations - for each spent AP, the player may place one Trick Marker on one of their Tricks (where component requirement is met), regardless of the AP cost of that Trick’s preparation, or whether there are Trick Markers already on that trick. When playing against the Dahlgaard’s Heir solo opponent (requires Dahlgaard’s Academy expansion), the Heir attempts to place in this location whenever sending to the Workshop, and treats it as a contested location as long as both the player and the Heir has a Workshop assignment card played, but its character not yet placed.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Trickerion: The Secret Workshop is 30–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Trickerion: The Secret Workshop for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Trickerion: The Secret Workshop has a complexity rating of 3.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.

The catalogue lists Trickerion: The Secret Workshop as an expansion for Trickerion: Collector's Edition.

Check that your edition of Trickerion: Collector's Edition is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
