Settlement Rules
Settlements are optional. They can be used with any game mode or expansion.
Setup: When setting up the journey board, separate the settlements into 4 sets, according to the icons on the tile backs. Shuffle each set, then give each player 1 random settlement from each set (i.e., 4 in total). Each player then places 2 of those settlements, face up, into legal zones in their quadrant of the map. Legal zones for settlements are indicated on the back of this card.
Trek: When you move through trekking, you may not end your movement on a settlement.
Scavenge Sites: You may not place scavenge sites on settlements.
Settlement Effects: During the night, if you are on a settlement, you may trigger its effect.
Settlement Tiles
The set of 16 settlement tiles has 4 settlements of each of the four types below. Each tile's centre icon names its type: a handshake (Trading Hub), a pair of figures (Kommune Village), tents with crossed rifles (Tent Town), or a chevron with a star (Resistance Barracks). The four sets used in setup are these four types.
Each tile also shows one or two small corner icons (terrain and a resource token). The sheet does not name these corner icons in text, so they are not named here.
Kommune Village
4 tiles.
Discard 1 scavenge site from your hand to take 1 scavenge site of your choice from the bag. You may place it on an adjacent terrain or add it to your hand.
Trading Hub
4 tiles.
Discard any 1 item card to draw 1 item card of any type.
Tent Town
4 tiles.
Discard 1 food token or 1 booze token to draw 2 follower cards, then keep 1 and discard the other.
The sheet prints a white can icon for the first option. It is read here as a food token, the can icon used for food in the base rules.
Resistance Barracks
4 tiles.
Recover 1 challenge card of your choice. If you camp while at this settlement, you choose which challenge cards to recover.
Back of the Settlement Sheet
The back of the sheet is printed as follows in the German edition (product code TLGPHS008DE). It is translated into English here; the English back was not in the source photographs.
Permanent Camp: Settlements count as camp markers. If you are in a settlement at dawn, you do not have to eat.
Scavenge Sites: Scavenge site markers may not be placed on settlements.
The German heading reads "Sklavenzüge" (slave raids). The body names the scavenge site markers, and the same rule appears under "Scavenge Sites" on the front panel, so the heading is rendered here as "Scavenge Sites".
Legal zones for settlements: The back also carries a small grid diagram with three marked circular zones. The diagram is not transcribed in text; the setup rule above refers to these legal zones.
