About the game
What you do in a play session
The Muse of Tragedy, Melpomene, has arrived to stir up the festival and inspire playwrights! This 6-card expansion for Dionysia brings a special touch with "masks." Think of them as powerful wilds: they can substitute for any element when scoring your patterns, opening up new strategies and unexpected combos. To add this extra dose of inspiration, simply shuffle the expansion cards into the base game's main deck and continue playing as usual. Each new card not only features the iconic mask but can also introduce brand-new effects and different scoring conditions, adding an extra flavor to your games. If you already enjoy the simplicity and depth of the base game, this expansion promises to supercharge your sessions with more flexibility and creative challenges. It's the perfect addition for those who want to explore new facets of Dionysia without overcomplicating the rules. Get ready to create plays worthy of applause (or many tears of tragedy!).
