Winter Cards
This set has six distinct cards. The scans show the same six cards under slightly different translations; the wording below follows the full-size "Bonus Winter Cards - English" scan (BGG image 452827). Flavour text is omitted. Each card is removed from the game after it is resolved, as printed.
Fireplace
Each player who immediately gives up 2 wooden beams earns 3 victory points. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Robber Baron
Each player immediately has to pay 3 taler or give up his messenger. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Road Works
If you immediately give up 1 stone block, 1 clay slab, and 1 sand pile, you may choose to gain immediately 4 victory points or 5 taler. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Beggar
In turns, each player gives up 1 taler. The first player not willing or able to pay immediately loses 5 victory points. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Famine
Each helper in the castle immediately costs his builder 3 taler or 2 victory points. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Extra Duty
For each trader used, his owner must immediately pay 1 taler, or he loses 2 victory points for each. Afterwards, remove this card from the game.
Note: this card is titled "Special Toll" on the other scans (BGG images 452673 and related), with the same illustration and flavour text. Those scans word it as: "For each trader placed, its owner must immediately pay 1 Taler to the bank or lose 2 victory points. Remove this card from the game." It is the same card and is transcribed once, above.
