About the game
What you do in a play session
The Weird Giraffe Games Promo Pack 2023 landed as an exclusive surprise in the 11th season of the Game Boy Geek Kickstarter campaign. Inside the box you’ll find 18 new cards and 2 rule cards, split among three existing Weird Giraffe titles: eight cards for *Fire in the Library*, four for *Wicked & Wise*, and six for *Dreams of Yesterday*. Each card introduces thematic effects that expand the original mechanics, offering fresh strategies and unexpected twists. While the pack doesn’t include its own board, it serves as a lightweight expansion, ideal for owners of the base games who want a quick upgrade. The components are printed in high quality, with artwork that preserves the publisher’s quirky style. No core rules are altered; the new cards can be added or omitted at the group’s discretion, allowing you to tailor the experience to the mood of the table. Because it’s a limited‑edition promotional item, it appeals both to longtime fans and curious newcomers, providing an extra flavor without a hefty price tag. If you don’t already own any of the three games, you’ll want to get the base set first, as the pack alone doesn’t constitute a complete play experience. In short, the promo pack is a fun, visually appealing, and easy‑to‑integrate supplement, perfect for quick sessions or spicing up familiar games.
