What you do in a play session

Hey folks! If you're a Mystic Vale fan looking to upgrade your collection, Conclave is here to save the day! This beauty isn't just an expansion; it's like a treasure chest that holds EVERYTHING from the base game and previous expansions, with plenty of room for future acquisitions. Goodbye, messy drawers!

But Conclave doesn't stop there: it introduces the new Equinox mechanic, which speeds up gameplay considerably and even allows up to 6 players to join the fray with two extra starter decks. For those who love to customize everything, the new conclaves let you personalize the decks of advancements and vales, ensuring a different game experience each time. And to top it off, the totem cards grant awesome abilities you can use every turn, letting you truly feel Gaia's power. Plus, the spirit counters help you keep track of your symbols during your turn. It's Mystic Vale supercharged and organized, just the way we like it!
