About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, magic and city-building enthusiasts! If you're already a fan of Sorcerer City and enjoyed the real-time vibe of assembling your magical district, get ready, because the Kickstarter Expansion is here to spice up your games even more. This gem, previously only available in the Kickstarter Deluxe Edition, brings new artifacts and monsters that will challenge your planning and improvisation skills. Imagine this: you can use the Statue Artifact to place a wild tile at the start of the round, ignoring negative monster effects if you're bold enough to use them that way. It's a real boon for those who like to have extra control over their initial setup! But it doesn't stop there. The Potion Artifact allows you to trade a bit of magic for a generous dose of money, influence, and prestige – quite a bargain if you know the right moment to activate it. And of course, there had to be some creatures to add excitement: the Gazer, a Tier I Monster, forces you to make quick decisions when drawn, making you choose between playing, discarding, or destroying tiles on the spot. Spindra, a Tier II Monster, adds a layer of strategy by requiring the next drawn tile to be placed on top of it, creating an interesting challenge for your layout. In short, this expansion is a treat for anyone who wants more variety, more tactical decisions, and, of course, more controlled chaos in their Sorcerer City. It's your chance to get that exclusive content that Kickstarter backers loved so much, now on your table!

What are the main types of components this expansion adds?
It introduces new tile types, including powerful Artifacts with unique effects and Monsters that bring new challenges and tactical decisions during the game.
Does the expansion significantly change game duration?
Not significantly. While it adds more options and interactions, there might be a slight increase, but the average 45-60 minute playtime of the base game should remain, depending on the number of players and familiarity with the new rules.
Is this a complex expansion? Do I need to be an experienced player?
