About the game
What you do in a play session
If you think life in Fantastiqa is already chaotic, grab your coffee because this expansion is here to crank up the confusion (and the fun)! This set features three mini-expansions designed to transform your gameplay, whether you want to mess with your friends or boost your magical productivity. First up is 'A Wild Goose Chase,' perfect for when an opponent is cruising through quests too easily. You can send a goose to chase them down, preventing them from completing quests until they finally catch the bird. It's pure, delightful chaos! Then, we have the 'Espresso Dragons.' Forget relaxing tea; here, dragons serve espresso! Encountering these events grants you espresso tokens, which allow you to perform extra actions during your turn. It's the perfect fuel for those looking to speed up the game's pace. Finally, the expansion introduces a set of 'Exclusive Artifacts' to beef up your item deck. These powerful cards can shift the entire board, such as moving all adventurers or swapping statue positions. Just a heads-up: this expansion is fully compatible with both the Enchanted Edition and the Rucksack Edition of the base game. If you're looking for more interaction, more resources, and a little more 'enom' to use against your rivals, this expansion is exactly what your table needs. Get your adventurers ready, because the treasure hunt just got a whole lot wilder!
