About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are already a fan of Luna and want to give your table a premium upgrade, this Metal Coins set is exactly what you need. Forget the standard cardboard tokens; this pack provides a tactile upgrade with 93 metal coins that significantly enhance the immersion during your sessions. But it is not just about looks: the set introduces new components that spice up the game's mechanics in a very clever way.

You get a new priestess figure and four oversized "preacher" novice meeples. The new rule is a highlight: the priestess moves around the temple, granting valuable bonuses to adjacent novices at the end of each round. This adds a layer of strategy, forcing you to plan your positioning more carefully to capitalize on these perks. Furthermore, the larger preacher figures provide extra strength on the islands, which can be the deciding factor in tight area-majority struggles.

The pack also includes an embroidered drawstring bag to store the coins, which makes setup and teardown much cleaner while adding a premium feel to the game. It is the kind of expansion that doesn't overhaul the base game but adds tactical depth and a production quality that really stands out. If you play Luna frequently, these subtle changes to movement and area control breathe new life into the game, making your decisions feel more impactful and rewarding. It is the perfect upgrade for those who value high-quality components and want a slightly more seasoned strategic challenge.
