About the game

What you do in a play session

The Futures Mini‑Expansion adds nine new promotional card sets, 54 cards in total, to Millennium Blades. Each pack showcases characters that will appear in upcoming Level 99 Games projects such as Seventh Cross, Esper X, Trials of Indines, and Duelist Library, giving players a sneak peek at the publisher's future releases. As a deck, bag, and pool‑building add‑on, it lets players expand their customized decks with fresh abilities, synergies, and strategic options. The cards are ready to play but require almost a full translation, as they are released in English. The core cooperative nature of the base game remains, so the group still works together against the game's challenges, now with a richer pool of cards to manage in hand. Simultaneous Action Selection stays in place, preserving the tension of choosing moves before everyone else. In terms of playtime, the expansion doesn’t dramatically change the 2‑3 hour range; it simply enriches the experience for those already fond of Millennium Blades and eager to explore new narratives. The modest weight (3.5/5) shows that, despite the new cards, complexity doesn’t spike, making it suitable for groups comfortable with the base rules. In short, Futures Mini‑Expansion acts as a preview of upcoming titles, adding thematic content and boosting replayability without overwhelming players with extra rules.
