About the game
Trickerion: Dahlgaard's Gifts arrives as a trick‑filled upgrade for fans of the theatrical illusion core game. The expansion introduces two major additions: Magician Powers and Duel of the Magicians. Magician Powers turn Trickerion Shards into slots for Power Cards—90 different cards each granting abilities that reshape how you craft tricks, manage resources, and vie for fame. This creates a massive strategic breadth and boosts replayability, as every game can feature a uniquely customized magician. Duel of the Magicians is a two‑player‑focused variant. It brings turn‑setup cards that shift available spots each round, making the head‑to‑head clash tighter and more varied. Special Performance cards with neutral markers also ease linking tricks in duels. Beyond the main modules, the expansion adds 25 extra Trickerion Shards, a large acrylic Trickerion Stone marker, 8 Special Assignment cards (two per location), and 4 magician meeples to replace the wooden cylinders on the initiative track. All of this preserves the core's careful planning, worker placement, and simultaneous action selection that made the base game a hit, while offering deeper customization and competition layers. Perfect for groups that have mastered the basics and want new avenues of personalization and rivalry, especially in two‑player matches.
