About the game

What you do in a play session

Folklore: The Affliction keeps delighting fans with the expansion "Return to Spice Tower Rumor Card." This rumor card was designed to be used alongside the Dark Tales module, so if you don’t have that extension yet, just get Dark Tales and the card comes into play. When you play, the card takes you straight to Alchemist’s Tower, a spot already known for its tough choices. There you’ll face two options: "Entrance" or "Defenestration." Each choice leads to different consequences in the story, adding layers of strategy and tension to the game. The card was released as part of Dice Tower’s 2021 Kickstarter campaign, giving it a unique design and a community feel that only those who joined the campaign can appreciate. While the card doesn’t drastically change the game’s length—still around 30 to 45 minutes—it offers a new layer of narrative and decisions that can shift how you tackle Folklore’s challenges. If you’ve already explored the dark world of the base game and want fresh stories, the "Return to Spice Tower Rumor Card" is a supplement worth diving into.
