About the game
Fantastiqa: Audacious Artifacts is a mini-expansion adding 18 quirky artifacts to the base game (or 12, depending on the version). These cards are shuffled into the artifact deck at the start, bringing unique and unpredictable effects. Each artifact has a gem cost and a peculiar ability—from hiding cards under board regions to teleporting your character to distant locations. The fun lies in variety: you can customize the artifact deck each game, mixing expansion and base game cards. Standouts include 'Paco’s Paranormal Pencilbox' (adds a beast to your hand) and 'Ender’s Tollbooth of Never-Ending Adventure' (instant travel to the farthest region). Perfect for Fantastiqa veterans craving more chaos and strategy.
