Dawn arrives as the first major expansion, breathing new life into the base game. The biggest highlight is the ability to increase the player count, allowing more people to join this magical journey. But it's not just about quantity; the quality of the experience also improves with the arrival of new adventurers, each bringing unique powers that will force you to rethink your usual strategies. Furthermore, the expansion introduces three new sets of cards, focusing on different types of companions that will help you dispel the darkness in various ways. The game, already known for its dice-rolling and push-your-luck mechanics, gains extra layers of depth with these additions. Set in the ancient north of Europe, it creates an epic tone where building a village becomes the central stage. The real charm here is the social dynamic: while everyone works on building the city, there is always that nagging feeling about who is truly collaborating and who is playing for their own gain. You will have to deal with constant threats and decide whether it's worth fighting or if it's better to focus on your personal goals. It's a delicate balance between cooperation and secret competition. If you like games that mix strategy with that vibe of deduction and 'can I trust this person?', Dawn is the spice your collection was missing. With the inclusion of new companion cards, the replayability skyrockets, ensuring every game feels fresh. It's the perfect expansion for those who want to keep the glow of the original game alive for much longer, bringing challenges that require both careful planning and a good dose of audacity when rolling the dice and risking everything for victory. ## FAQ ### Do I need the base game to play Dawn?
