About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of Dreams of Yesterday and looking to spice up your tabletop sessions, Breakthrough is exactly what you need! Originally released as a special promo pack during the Weird Giraffe Games Kickstarter campaign, this expansion packs a punch despite its compact size. It features 6 brand-new cards designed to seamlessly integrate into your-already established gameplay, offering fresh layers of strategy and unpredictueability.
Integrating the expansion is a breeze: just mix these cards into your base game deck before you even start setting up. To keep the game balance intact and ensure the pacing stays just right, make sure to shuffle and remove three urn cards from the game once the expansion is added. It's a lightweight way to breathe new life into your sessions, making every playthrough feel slightly different and keeping your opponents on their toes. Perfect for players who love small-scale expansions that deliver big-time variety without complicating the core mechanics!
