## Description
The *Mission Card* expansion for EOS: Island of Angels adds a splash of extra strategy to the already engaging base game. Instead of simply receiving a blessing ocean area reward, players can now choose to complete missions handed out by the grand nations at the start of each game. Each mission offers specific conditions that, when met, grant stronger bonuses than the standard rewards. This turns the game into a more tactical experience, as players decide when to take the mission opportunity and when to go the safer route. The Open Drafting mechanic lets players pick mission cards from a shared pool, heightening competition. Point‑to‑point movement keeps the familiar flow of EOS, while worker placement adds a layer of resource control. The expansion doesn’t alter core rules, but it adds a depth layer that can turn quick games into strategic battles. Perfect for those who already love EOS and want more variety, the expansion is lightweight, with only mission cards and a few extra markers. If you enjoy quick decisions and exploring different paths, this expansion will surprise you.

Running 90‑120 minutes, the expansion keeps the same game length as the base, though it can stretch depending on how many missions are chosen. It’s compatible with 1‑5 players, just like the original, and works on any table setup. If you already own EOS, just add the mission cards and you’re ready to roll.

In short, the Mission Card expansion is a light yet significant addition to EOS. It preserves the base game’s spirit while offering strategic choices and an extra layer of tactical depth that will delight newcomers and veterans alike.
