## Description
Hey there, space explorers! If you're already hooked on the epic journey of Eminent Domain: Escalation, get ready to supercharge your games even further with the Escalation Bonus Pack. This little gem, originally a Kickstarter bonus, adds an extra kick for those seeking more variety and challenges in their space exploration and empire-building adventures. It introduces two brand-new scenario cards: 'Iconoclast' and 'Double Trouble,' which are sure to shake things up with fresh rules and objectives. Plus, you'll get 'Magrathea,' a prestige starting planet that hits the table with impact, and two more utopian planets, 'Hades' and 'Dionysus,' ripe for conquest and exploration. And for those who love a strategic twist, there's the 'Military/Economic' alternate victory condition card, opening up a whole new range of strategies for galactic domination. This bonus pack is ideal for players who have already mastered the base game and are looking to expand their tactical options, adding more replayability and surprising moments to every session. It's the kind of expansion that doesn't drastically alter the core game but introduces elements that make a significant difference for dedicated fans who love diving deep into the complexities of Eminent Domain.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base game Eminent Domain: Escalation to use this pack?
Absolutely! This is an expansion pack, so it adds content to the base game Eminent Domain: Escalation. Without the base game, these cards and planets have nowhere to go!

### How many players does this pack support?
The pack itself doesn't change the player count. It works with the same player count as the base game Eminent Domain: Escalation, which is for 2 to 5 players.

### Does this pack add a lot of complexity to the game?
Not significantly. It adds scenario cards, planets, and an alternate victory condition, which increases tactical options and replayability, but the overall complexity of the base game remains. It's a welcome addition for those who have already mastered the rules.

### What components come in this pack?
It includes 2 additional scenario cards ('Iconoclast', 'Double Trouble'), 1 prestige start planet ('Magrathea'), 2 utopian planets ('Hades', 'Dionysus'), and 1 alternate victory condition card ('Military/Economic').

### Is this pack hard to find?
As it was a promotional Kickstarter item, it might be a bit harder to find in regular stores. Typically, those who have it acquired it during the campaign or on the secondary market.

### Does this pack significantly change the gameplay experience?
It adds variety and new strategic possibilities, especially with the scenario cards and the alternate victory condition. It doesn't change the core essence of the game, but it certainly makes it more interesting with more options.
