About the game
What you do in a play session
After conquering the realm in After the Empire, your next adventure can gain an extra layer of strategy with the Tower Dungeon promo card. This limited‑edition card was released as part of Pack D in Dice Tower’s 2022 Kickstarter campaign – a real find for collectors of exclusive items. The cost to acquire the card is 1 wood, 2 stone, and 1 iron, plus 1 gold, making it a relatively inexpensive piece within the game’s economy. The card’s core mechanic revolves around a rotation effect: if the player is not “sacked” (i.e., not fired during the game), they can rotate the card 90° and spend 1 food to move 5 spaces on the board. That small trick can be decisive in critical moments, allowing you to reposition quickly or avoid traps. The card does not replace any core components – it works as a strategic bonus that can be activated on any turn, provided the player meets the cost and non‑sacked condition. As part of a crowdfunding campaign, the card also carries a collector’s charm, as it was only available to those who backed the Kickstarter project. This makes it a sentimental piece for fans who supported the campaign, while also offering a tactical edge in play. In terms of time, the card does not change the overall length of the game; it merely alters how players move their pieces on the board. If you’re already familiar with the basic rules of After the Empire, the card fits in trough without extra learning. In short, the Tower Dungeon Promo Card is a light but powerful addition that can shift the course of a game in a few moves, and it’s a must‑have for anyone who wants to explore all the game’s features.
