Winter Cards
Village Tavern
With a Stonemason or Bricklayer, a player can place a helper here as an "Bar Keeper" for 3 talers. From now on, when a player plays the trader, she has to pay 1 taler to the owner of the Bar Keeper. If there is no Bar Keeper yet, the taler is put on the card and is taken by the player who next places her helper on the card. If a player cannot pay the taler for her trader, she must take one of her trader's helpers off the gameboard and back to her personal stock. The Bar Keeper doesn't have to stay in the Village Tavern. If a player plays the Trader, Bricklayer, or Stonemason, she can remove her Bar Keeper and use her as a Helper in a new place. This winter card stays in the game, and new talers are put on the card again until a player places a Helper as a Bar Keeper. The card does not count for the final scoring.
