## Description
Night Carnival brings a neon-lit carnival vibe to Quests Over Coffee. Picture a nighttime fair where stalls are traps and rides are dice‑based challenges. The pack adds four new items—think a “extra coffee” card that boosts your roll—and five quests that shift the pace, introducing short‑term goals that force quick decisions. The game stays true to the original’s style: each player picks a mission card, rolls the dice, and tries to meet the conditions before the opponent does. Dice‑rolling remains simple, but the carnival setting adds a fun thematic layer with vibrant illustrations of fireworks and flashing lights. As a Print & Play expansion, it’s easy to assemble: just print, cut, and play. If you love quick games, dice‑based decisions, and a party atmosphere, Night Carnival is a great pick. Just remember the theme can be a bit chaotic and the quest count is limited, so if you’re after deeper gameplay, you might want to wait for more expansions.

In terms of gameplay experience, the expansion keeps Quests Over Coffee’s simplicity but adds visual variety and new objectives. Players must adapt strategies to the new quests, which may require specific dice combos. The fun lies in the contrast between the carnival atmosphere and the dice mechanics, creating moments of tension and humor. The expansion is perfect for short sessions (10‑20 minutes) and works well with 1‑2 players, keeping balance thanks to the new cards that level the playing field.

In short, Night Carnival brings a festive setting and new cards that keep the game light and fun, ideal for those who love short challenges and crave an urban fantasy twist.
