Simple yet interesting and powerful.  Buy the Saunas (Saunae?) for little immediate benefit, but when combo'd with an Ice Hole, +4C +1A.  And if the Ice Hole is in your hand but not the Sauna, you still get +3C so three chances to draw one and play it for free.

It's Finnish for 'ice hole'. (https://translate.google.com/#fi/en/avanto)

The rest of the card wasn't translated from Finnish; it started out in English!

Sauna and avanto are both Finnish words. Sauna has made it into English while avanto hasn't. But it's the word for that thing, and doesn't mean anything else in English. There's a picture even. It seemed fine to use the Finnish word.

It's good to have a friend at Essen--no waiting for an English version to hit the Geek Store!

Setup: Put 5 Avanto on this card and on top of that 5 Sauna. At all times, only the top card of the pile may be bought or gained.
