Tallinn: The Supporters (2016)

Contained in Brettspiel Adventskalender 2016 for Day 19. Includes 15 supporter tokens (5 monks, 5 merchants, and 5 knights) Each player receives 3 face down supporter tokens. Once per game, each supporter token may do one of two things: a) In phase 1 "Choose Card Secretly", put one or more of supporter tokens face down to the right end of your display. Reveal the tokens together with your card in phase 2 and place th tokens on the card you just played. Those supporters have the same effect as a person in a shield on your cards during a contest. Thus you count them to evaluate whether you beat the other players and they have to count them for your display when evaluating if they beat you. b) In phase 3 "Contest", you may use or more previously unused supporters. Put these supporters face up below your display. These supporters are only relevant for your own contest. Other player who initiate a contest ignore you supporters and only count the persons on your card to evaluate if they beat you In phase 4 "Draw a Card", you must remove all used supporters from the game.
