About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a Tsukuyumi enthusiast and feel that the world of epic combat and mythology could be even more explosive, the Fireborn Faction expansion is the upgrade you've been waiting for. This isn't just 'more of the same'; it's about injecting a massive dose of draconic power directly into the game board. This expansion introduces an entirely new faction: the Fireborn, a group of dragons arriving to shake up the balance of power and bring an even more intense combat dynamic.
Upon opening this box, you'll find high-end components that significantly boost the game's visual immersion. The absolute standout is the set of six unique 3D Fireborn miniatures; they are breathtaking and provide an incredible physical presence for the faction. Beyond the miniatures, the expansion provides everything needed to deploy this new force: a detailed faction sheet, initiative tokens, specific battle cards, growth tokens, and faction markers. For those Kickstarter backers, there's even the 3D home zone tile, a masterful touch for the game setup.
Mechanically, the arrival of the dragons alters how you approach area majority and resource management. With new mission cards and a distinct combat approach, the Fireborn offer a playstyle that can be both aggressive and strategic, depending on how you wield their unique powers. It is the perfect choice for players looking to increase replayability and feel like the Tsukuyumi universe has truly expanded. Get ready to see the board catch fire—literally—with the arrival of these new combatants!
