The Banquet expansion was published in SpielBox magazine at the end of 2005. It adds twelve cards to the game. Nine of these are special cards that cost nothing to take, but must be taken into your hand. They can then be played in a further action to use them. Once played, these cards are placed on the discard pile. If these cards are still in your hand at the end of the game, you do not lose points for them.
