Change 1: Don't lay out all 5 bonus tiles on the player sequence track, but only three of them (on positions 1,2,3), drawn randomly each season.
Change 2: Use only 3 out of the 5 regions. To keep the balance, add certain sea (and land) connections. Mark them by using cubes of an unused color. Ignore provinces that are out of play (and the sea connections to them).
