Setup
Setup the game as normal with the following exceptions: Shuffle the 12 Event Setup Cards into the deck of Feature Cards. Add the new Scoring Objective Tile to the other 3 options when selecting a Scoring Tile. Shuffle the 14 double-wide Event Cards forming a face-down Event deck, setting it off to the side within reach of other players. Reveal 2 cards face-up from the Event deck.
Game Overview
The Long Weekend adds fun events to the city of Santa Monica. 12 Event Setup Cards are added to the deck of Feature Cards. On a player's turn when they select a Feature card they may choose to instead take an Event Setup Card if one is avaible for them to take. Event Setup Cards may be taken from the front row as normal or they may be taken with Sand Dollar Actions. If you take an Event Setup Card from the front row you still gain bonuses from the Food Truck and/or the Foodie. Event Setup Cards have no Location Tags on them so you may not use Sand Dollar Actions that need them to take an event. When a player takes an Event Setup Card they immediately discard it and take one of the two face-up Event Cards and place it into their city.
Event Cards work like normal Feature Cards with the exception that they are twice the width of normal Feature Card. Event Cards count as one space for People movement. Each Event Setup Card has one of 2 icons on them. These icons indicate the bonuses each other player recieves when one of these cards is taken: Each other player with 5 or less Sand Dollars receives 1 Sand Dollar, or each other player may move up to 2 people 1 space each. At the end of the turn, Refresh the Events so there are 2 face-up Event Cards.
