DOMINION: RISING SUN - 2ND EDITION (EXPANSION)
We journey now to the islands to the east – or west, depending on where you are relative to them. Here your title is Emperor. They tell you you’re just a figurehead, though you can still order whatever breakfast you want. They may be right; you did get that breakfast. Your ceremonial sword and armor are made of paper. The samurai never let you into their tea parties, and the ninjas are always tying your shoelaces together. And the epic poem they wrote about you is only 17 syllables long. Rice has been adopted as currency, and no-one seems to even be trying to get your face onto the grains. But when you wake up each morning and look out over the land, life doesn’t seem so bad. Now, what’s for breakfast?
This is the 16th expansion to Dominion.
It has 300 cards, with 25 new Kingdom card piles. There are Shadow cards that leap out from your deck, and Prophecies that will someday happen and change everything. Debt and Events return.

TIGER & DRAGON
Attack and defend to play out your hand of numbered tiles.
2-5 Players | 20 Mins | Ages 8+
Features: Hand Management
Description:
Players in Tiger & Dragon play tiles from their hand to participate in waves of attack and defense. Be the first player to empty your hand to score points based on whichever one of ten scoring cards are in use this round.
The game contains 38 tiles: 36 numbered tiles with one 1, two 2s, etc. up to eight 8s, along with a tiger and a dragon. Shuffle the tiles face down, then each player takes tiles based on the player count, with the round's starting player taking one additional tile. With four players, for example, the starting player draw ten tiles and all other players nine. At least one tile will remain out of play.
The start player attacks by playing a tile from their hand. The next player can either pass or defend the attack by playing the same tile. Note that the dragon defends against any odd-numbered tile and the tiger against any even-numbered tile. After defending, place a tile of your own to attack. If a player passes, the next player either passes or defends. If all other players pass on your attack, place a tile from your hand face down, then choose a new tile to attack again. If you attack with the dragon or tiger, a player can defend with any odd- or even-numbered tile, respectively.
The first player to empty their hand wins the round and scores points based on the last tile that they played and the specific scoring card for that round. They score 1 bonus point for each time an attack of theirs went undefended. At the end of a round, if a player has scored 10+ points, they win.
Tiger & Dragon is based on the popular Japanese traditional game GOITA, and it can be played with team rules like that earlier team. Teammates sit across from one another, and the first team to collectively score 15+ points wins.

NATURE
Nature is a redesign of the blockbuster Evolution to be more streamlined, more forgiving, and seamlessly expandable. The secret sauce is a modular system that allows players to create and explore a unique ecosystem each time they play.
Adapt to the Changing Environment:Grow thriving populations in an ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. Evolve traits like Tusked for foraging, Fast for escaping danger, or Clawed for hunting.
Create a Unique Ecosystem Each Time You Play:The core game of Nature is an accessible gateway into a world of dynamic ecosystems. Add the Jurassic module for a more aggressive game with colossal dinosaurs, or the Arctic Tundra module to experience life on the edge of the habitable world. There are currently 5 modules and 2 mini-modules that can be combined to create 96 different ecosystems. After the Climate module Kickstarter in October 2025, there will be 384 combinations to explore!
How to Play:Nature is a card-driven tableau-builder played over 4 rounds. Each round is split between the Adapting Phase and the Feeding Phase.
Adapting Phase: Use 5 cards as actions to do the following:- Increase Population- Increase Body Size- Play as a Trait to power-up your species- Save to be used as food during the Feeding Phase
Feeding Phase: Feed as many of your population as possible. At the end of the round, players get 1 point for each population they kept alive. The winner is the player that kept the most population alive over all 4 rounds.
