Morning, can I just check. Reading the rule pack it mentions 'No inducements may be taken ', sorry for being a bit dim, does this include Apo's and kegs?

Hi mate, so yes to Apothecaries (you can take them) because they’re team goods; no to kegs/babes (you can’t take them) because they’re inducements.

Just a note that there’s no stacking. It’s not entirely clear in the pack.

1x additional skill per player as per the allocation.
