About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a seasoned explorer in Vagrantsong and feel like the world still holds untold secrets, the 'Fool's Gold' bonus scenario is your next destination! Just a heads-up: this isn' isn't your typical retail expansion. This is a promotional-only-style content that was offered through a Wyrd Games promotion back in early 2022 via a web form, so it's a bit of a collector's item.
So, what's inside this little treasure chest? You get a dedicated scenario booklet, new Skill cards, and Ritual cards to spice up your gameplay. It's designed to be super efficient, utilizing the standees you already own from the base game while weaving a brand-new tale.
The way it kicks off is pretty clever: a specific 'Junk' card is shuffled into your deck, and the moment it's revealed during the Camp Phase, the scenario triggers immediately. It adds a fantastic layer of unpredicty to your sessions. It's the perfect way to breathe fresh life into your campaign and test your mettle against new-old threats. If you managed to snag this-bonus, you're in for a treat!
