Setup:

1) Distribute Moor and Forest cards to each player and they set up their player board
accordingly.
2) Special Actions Cards are placed out based on number of players
3) Place out new Major improvements (new ones go under old ones from base game read
upper left of new cards)
4) Distribute Cards
a. At Level 1 NO cards are distributed
b. At Level 2 each player receives 7 minor improvements from FotM expansion

What is different?

1) Person vs. Special action

a. A person action involves using a family member as normal for actions on the board
b. A special action involves using one of the special actions cards
i. You CANNOT take a special action if all of your family members have taken
their action
ii. If a special action is first used the player takes the card, performs ONE of the
actions, and then places it face UP in front of them.
iii. If it is used a SECOND time another player pays 2 food, then takes the special
action card and performs ONE of the actions and then places it face DOWN in
front of them.
iv. A face down special action card cannot be used until the next round when all
cards are then placed face up by the board
2) Fuel
a. During each harvest you must now pay 1 fuel per ROOM of the house (family
members do not matter)
i. Clay homes require 1 less total fuel
ii. Stone homes require 2 less total fuel
b. For every fuel you are short one of your family members has a bed placed on them
and they cannot be used on the next turn. They go to the infirmary instead.
c. Wood can be used in place of fuel just like grain can be used in place of food.
d. You may choose to NOT heat all rooms even if you have enough to do so.
e. At the end of the last harvest sick family members only count as 1 point instead of
3.
3) The infirmary action space has NO limit to the number of family members on it.
4) Use new score pad.

Special Variant: Acquired Major improvements with the cooking symbol first receive a not yet is
use marker and it cannot be used until a fuel is paid to the supply. Upgraded improvements
that were already ready for use come in ready to use.
