Each game starts with players taking on the role of agents dispatched by the Queen to chart newly discovered realms. At the outset, you receive a set of cards representing the mission, the resources at hand, and the threats that may arise. As the expedition progresses, the number of dangers ramps up, and it’s up to you to decide whether to press on or pull back before the peril becomes unmanageable. Choosing to stay isn’t just a tactical move—it’s an emotional gamble: staying could unveil valuable secrets, but it could also mean losing everything you’ve gathered. Retreating guarantees you keep the knowledge you already have, but you might miss out on completing the quest. Each player has unique defensive abilities they can deploy to boost their odds of success, adding a layer of personalization that makes every playthrough distinct. The pace is brisk, with each expedition lasting only a few minutes, allowing you to run multiple runs in a short span. This expansion is a lightweight add‑on, perfect for those who already know the Mysticana deck and want to experiment with new strategies without committing to an entirely new game. If you enjoy quick decisions, calculated risk, and a dash of fantasy, Realmseekers will surprise you with its simplicity and unexpected depth. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate? 1 to 6 players. ### What is the approximate playtime of a game? 15 to 20 minutes, depending on players' decisions. ### What is the game's complexity?
