Quick answer
The Messenger Promo Card gives you an extra Errand boy in Last Will, opening new tactical options for spending actions and competing for objectives.
Why add the Messenger card?
In the base game of Last Will, Errand boys are a limited resource. The Messenger Promo Card effectively doubles your capacity for certain actions, letting you pursue more aggressive strategies without sacrificing other moves.
However, more Errand boys also means more decisions each turn. If your group prefers streamlined play, the extra token can slow down planning. Consider your group's pace before adding it.
Trade-offs to consider
The Messenger card is a promotional item, so availability may be limited. It is not required to enjoy Last Will, and players who prefer the base game's balance may find it unnecessary.
If you enjoy asymmetric advantages or want to test new synergies, the card adds variety without changing core rules. It is compatible with all existing Last Will components.
Diagnosis: Is the Messenger card right for your game?
- Symptom: You often feel limited by having only one Errand boy, especially in the late game when objectives require multiple errand actions.
- Likely cause: The base game intentionally restricts Errand boys to create tension. The Messenger card removes that restriction, which can imbalance the game if not all players have access.
- Corrective action: Add the Messenger Promo Card to your deck. Shuffle it into the regular card pool so it appears naturally. When drawn, the player gains an extra Errand boy token for the remainder of the game. The card is a permanent addition once shuffled in. Remove it if you find the game becomes too easy or if other players feel disadvantaged.
- Stop / alternative: If your group prefers balanced play or if not everyone owns the promo card, skip this addition. The base game is complete without it.
