Herbalist
The Herbalist can be added to the base game and to any Golden Age scenario, making sure to have all three Temple tiles among the Tao tiles that will be used.
Character Skill: Once per turn, the player may place one of his three herbs tokens on the card of another character in play or any character available in the reserve, to use his ability until the end of the turn. The player can skip a turn to recover the used tokens, however, if a herb token is not recovered with this action it will remain on the card until the end of the game.
Sight Preference: Gain five coins for each garden tile with a temple in the Herbalist's line of sight.
Herbalist Scenario
The Herbalist Scenario is a variant that modifies the base game or Golden Age setup as follows.
Tiles
Use only fifteen tiles of each type, but make sure you have all three Temple tiles among the Tao tiles that will be used.
Special Rules
If a player chose to place a decoration in the previous turn, before revealing new tiles place one coin next to each stack, keeping the tile face-up. During the game there could be more than one coin next to each stack.
If a player chooses a tile, they also take the coins next to that tile, while the rest of the coins remain in place.
When you draw decorations, always draw an additional card (three cards plus one card for each hidden tile).
Decoration
Use all the decorations from the base game and the Golden Age expansion.
Characters
Place the Merchant back in the box, then add Herbalist, Gardener, Princess, Musician, Tao Priest and Emissary to the base game.
