- 8 Mango Village province tiles
- 1 Mango Tree tile for the gameboard: front side for 3 or 4 players; back side for 2 players (as compared with the number of mangos)
- 1 yield tile
Put the Mango Tree tile on the corresponding space of the gameboard.
Use of the Mango Village Tiles in the Game
Mix the 8 Mango Village province tiles and put them as a face-up stack next to the other province tiles. The Mango Village tiles can be acquired through the building action (just as the other province tiles). They differ in their cost and yield, though.
Cost: In order to acquire a Village tile, you have to give up a double, i.e., two dice showing the same values (e.g., two times a "3"); the dice color does not matter in this case.
Yield: Each Mango Village tile, once placed, gives you a special bonus:
- 1 money + 1 die of your choice
The sheet shows the following tile yields:
- 1 money + 1 upgrade
- 3 money + 1 karma
- 1 boat move onto the next unoccupied river space and receive the reward
- 2 money + 1 die of the corresponding color
Now there is also one action space (2 players) or two action spaces (3 or 4 players) in the village. If you place a worker there, you may score up to 2 of the villages in your province again.
Example: In her province, Leila has the village with the boat movement and the village with 2 money + 1 green die. If she places her worker on the village action space, she may move her boat to the next unoccupied space on the river, move her money marker 2 spaces forward and take a green die from the supply.
If you have more than 2 villages in your province, you choose which two you wish to score again.
In the 3- or 4-player game, each player may send only one of his workers to the village per round.
For the Navaratnas Variant
Mix the new yield tile with the brown yield tiles at the beginning of the game. If you connect it to the roads on your province board during the course of the game, you advance 3 spaces on the money track for each village in your province. If, for example, you have 4 villages laid out in your province when you connect the tile, you get 12 money for this.
Concerning the Master Builder
Mango villages can never be overbuilt. But you can place these tiles on top of any other laid-out tile if you give up another "5".
