About the game
Winterhaven Wonders is an expansion to Winterhaven Woods. It introduces 3 new card types: WINTERHAVEN LEGENDS - These cards change up how each species works during the game. They add a level of variability to each game, and give you a new strategies to focus on. They are shuffled into the Woods deck and when they come up in your hand they are placed in the center of the table. You draw a card to replace it in your hand, just like wolves in 2P. They then affect all players for the rest of the game because no one player can own a Legend. MOTHER NATURE CARDS - These cards are drafted and played into a players meadow during the plant and populate phase. They may then be used on a future round to alter play. VARIABLE BONUSES - These bonuses randomize the end game scoring bonuses from game to game.
