About Oranges & Lemons: Here Comes a Candle

Here comes a candle to light you to bed, And here comes a chopper to chop off your head! Chip chop chip chop the last man is dead Overview Here Comes a Candle is an expansion to the game, Oranges and Lemons which requires the base game to play. There are three separate elements: A One Player expansion which is a solo-play version based around the six careers in the base game. ‘Here Comes a Candle’ – an addition to the multi-player game which introduces events which impact gameplay but have variable durations. ‘Here Comes a Chopper’ – a further addition to the multi-player game which incorporates objectives to achieve before a deadline. In addition there are 10 new Cargo tiles to add variety to the main game and 25 larger bells between 50% and 100% larger that the original bells. The two multi-player expansions can be used separately or together but cannot be combined with the One Player expansion. —description from the publisher
