Hot Tin Roof: Deluxe Catwalks

Use all of the rules for Hot Tin Roof with the following additions.

• During setup, each player must take 1 Deluxe Catwalk in his/her own color.
• As soon as ALL players have earned at least 1 fish tile from the fish market, you may place your Deluxe Catwalk instead of one of your regular catwalks. Any cat that crosses a Deluxe Catwalk must pay the owner 2 instead of the usual 1.

Patrician: The Messengers

Use the Patrician rules with the following changes.

Components

• 6 messengers
• 24 2-point prestige tokens
• 1 -3-point prestige token

Setup

Depending upon the number of players, you each start with the following:

• 2-3 players: 2 messengers per player
• 4-5 players: 1 messenger per player

Place any unused messengers back in the box. Place the prestige tokens near the board.

Game Play

If you play a card with a star on it, take your turn as usual. At the end of your turn, you may also place a messenger onto the board if you wish.

The messenger placement rules are as follows:

• The messenger has to be placed in between 2 cities, so that the arrows point at the 2 involved cities.
• The 2 cities have to be orthogonally adjacent to each other†.
• You cannot place a messenger beside a city that was built this turn.
• A city can have, at most, 2 messengers.
• Only 1 messenger can be in between 2 cities.

Scoring

When scoring a city, for each tower you control in a city that has 1 messenger, take a 2-point prestige token. For each tower you control in a city that has 2 messengers, take two 2-point prestige tokens.

Game End

At the end of the game, determine how many towers you helped build (built at least one floor in a tower) within the all of the cities with 1 or 2 messengers. If you helped build the least number of towers in these combined cities, take the -3-point token.

In the case of a tie, if you have the fewest total floors in those towers you get the token.

If there's still a tie, no one gets the token.

Special Situations & Comments

If you place a messenger at a city that has already been scored, the messenger has no effect on the city.

Since there are so few cards with a star, you might consider holding onto some until later in the game when more cities have be built to maximize points.

† The orthogonally adjacent cities are:

• Roma/Siena, Siena/Lucca, Siena/Bologna, Lucca/Milano, Lucca/Ferrara, Milano/Parma, Parma/Verona, Verona/Ferrara, Ferrara/Bologna, and Bologna/Firenze.
• With 5 players add: Roma/Pistoia and Pistoia/Firenze.
