Fantastiqa: Audacious Artifacts Expansion (2014)

A mini-expansion of 18 (or 12 ... see NOTE further below) artifacts for Fantastiqa.

These artifacts can be used to expand your Fantastiqa game.

How they work: At the beginning of the game, shuffle all Audacious Artifact cards into the Artifacts deck. As always, include all and only those artifact cards you enjoy playing with - that includes including or removing cards from the base set as well. You might want to change the cards you include each game.

The artifacts included in this mini-expansion include:

• 2 x Cassens’ Uncanny Clasp of Unfastening (Cost: 4 Gems): Choose one card from your hand or discard pile and tuck it part-way beneath your current Region. A player who ends his turn in this Region must add this card to his discard pile.
• 2 x The Complete Troll-Gurgles of Beng Erber (Cost: 3 Gems): Discard as many cards from your hand as you wish, and then draw that many more again.
• 2 x Dozer’s Deranged Digging Stick (Cost: 4 Gems): Draw five cards from your draw deck and keep two. Discard the others.
• 2 x Paco’s Paranormal Pencilbox (Cost: 4 Gems): Draw one Beast card and add it to your hand.
• 2 x The Summerer’s Guide to Winter Wonderland (Cost: 3 Gems): If you are in the Frozen Wastelands, draw one Artifact or one Beast card and add it to your hand.
• 2 x Tox’s Ill-Tempered Tortoise of Directed Rigor Mortis (Cost: 4 Gems): Choose one card in your hand or discard pile and remove it from play.
• 2 x Vasel’s Disconcerting Dice of Mischievous Melody (Cost: 4 Gems): Add an additional +1 Point Bonus Token to any Open Quest. (Limit: 3 Tokens total on any Open Quest.)
• 2 x Ender’s Tollbooth of Never-Ending Adventure (Cost: 4 Gems): Travel to the Region most distant from your current location. (If more than one Region ties, choose either one.)
