Quick Answer
The 5 Year Anniversary Promo Pack includes 30 promo cards for three Garphill Games titles: Shipwrights (original edition), Raiders, and Architects. It's a budget-friendly way to add variety to your games without changing core mechanics.
Why This Pack Matters for Collectors and Players
This promo pack is a celebration of Garphill Games' first five years, offering exclusive cards that aren't available in retail expansions. For collectors, it's a limited-run item that adds value to a game library. For regular players, the cards introduce small twists—like new roles or events—that can make familiar games feel fresh without requiring rulebook changes.
Which Games Are Covered?
The pack includes cards for three specific titles: Shipwrights (original edition, not the later reprint), Raiders (likely Raiders of the North Sea or a related game in that series), and Architects (from the Architects of the West Kingdom line). If you own only one of these games, you'll still get use from the other cards as trade or gift items, but the pack is most valuable if you play all three.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cards are in the pack?
The pack contains 30 promo cards total, divided among Shipwrights (original edition), Raiders, and Architects. Exact card names aren't listed, but they are designed to integrate into each game's existing deck.
Do these cards change the game balance?
No. Promo cards typically add variety or alternative options, not power upgrades. They are tested by the publisher to fit within the game's intended balance.
Can I use these with later editions of Shipwrights?
The pack specifies compatibility with the original edition of Shipwrights. If you own a later version (e.g., Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux), check compatibility before purchasing, as card sizes or mechanics may differ. Verify your game edition before buying.
Is this pack worth it for a casual player?
At a catalog price of $8.16 (down from $12.00), it's a low-cost way to freshen up games you already own. If you play any of the three titles regularly, the variety justifies the price.
How do I store these cards?
Store the cards in a standard card box or sleeve them to prevent wear. Since they are promo items, they may not be reprinted, so keeping them in good condition preserves their value. Consider sleeving to protect against frequent shuffling.
