Released in 2016, this expansion is meant to be a fun surprise for you and your friends, introducing two special promo cards, "Fly, You Fools" and "I was sent to bear tidings, not Burdens," that add a humorous twist to the game.

With the Tidings Not Burdens Mini-Expansion, you'll experience a fresh take on the game, blending adventure, fantasy, and strategy with a dash of humor. Whether you're a seasoned fan of the series or just starting out, this expansion is sure to bring a new level of excitement to your game nights.
