## Description
If you already enjoy the relaxing and visually stunning vibe of Canvas, the Reflections expansion arrives to upgrade your artistic experience. The star of the show is the 'Mirror Cards', reversible cards that introduce an extra layer of strategy. Now, you don't just pick the right card; you also decide which side fits your composition best, providing much more flexibility to chain element combinations and hit those high scores we all love.

Additionally, the game introduces a new board that expands the selection of available Art Cards. This means you can plan your moves more carefully and still have viable options even when your inspiration tokens are running low — no more feeling stuck without a plan! For those who crave a challenge, the new scoring cards bring fresh objectives, drastically increasing the game's replayability.

And there's more: Gold Bonus Ribbons! Aligning specific elements next to gold bonus icons now grants extra rewards, adding more planning layers to your canvas. For collectors, the Deluxe Edition is the pinnacle, featuring premium components that make the table look gorgeous. It includes 10 extra reversible cards, 5 Signature Style cards, ribbon pins, and 26 wooden tokens. Keep in mind that this Deluxe version was a Kickstarter exclusive, so if you spot one, you're looking at a special item. It's the perfect expansion for those who want to deepen the strategy without losing the zen essence of the base game.
