Traders & Builders
Expansion

The second big-box expansion adds two new figures (the builder and the pig) and a handful of city tiles printed with trade goods — wine, cloth, and grain.

The builder

Place a builder on a city or road you already control. Whenever you later extend that same feature on your turn, you get an extra turn — draw and place another tile right away.

No scoring change. The builder isn't a folk for majority purposes.

The pig

The pig joins a farmer in one of your fields. Every completed city that field touches now scores 4 points for the winning farmer instead of 3.

Logging it: when you reach the field in the End-game wizard's Farms step, use the regular farmer entry — it scores 3 — then add a Manual +1 per touching city with the note "pig bonus".

Trade goods

Some city tiles show a barrel of wine, a bolt of cloth, or a sheaf of grain. When a city is completed, the player who completed it (not necessarily the city's owner) collects one token per matching tile.

At end of game, for each of the three goods, whoever has the most tokens scores 10 points. Ties split nothing — every leader gets the full 10.

Logging it today: hand out physical tokens during play as usual, and when the bag empties, add a Manual +10 for each goods-majority with the note "wine majority", "cloth majority", or "grain majority".
