Card text | |
Worth 1 per 3 Victory cards you have (round down). When you gain this, +1 Buy, and discard any number of cards for + each. |
Marchland is a promotional Victory card. It provides alt-VP proportional to the number of Victory cards in your deck; and when you gain it it gives you +Buy and allows you to discard unneeded cards in your hand to get additional to spend on your extra buy.
It was designed as a replacement for Silk Road in the second edition of Hinterlands, but there wasn't enough space for it in the Update Pack, so it was released as a promo instead.

Trivia
First announcement of the card
There is in fact a new expansion on the way, called Rising Sun. My best guess is March 2024, but as usual I will know more in say February. And there's a promo coming called Marchland (no relation to the month or expansion), which I expect will be in an issue of Spielbox, and all the other promos are available in English from BoardGameGeek so I don't know why this one wouldn't be.
Secret History
This started in Hinterlands 2E, as a replacement for Silk Road. It doesn't fit in the update pack; Victory cards require 2 pesky extra cards. So it's a promo instead.
The first attempt had "When you gain this, gain a Silver per card you've gained this turn" on the bottom, and it jumped from there straight to the final version. However then I also tried "1 per 2 Victory cards," and only letting you discard Victory cards but giving you + each.
This card then sat around for a couple years, waiting for us to need a promo. At last Spielbox wanted one.
