Description
Get ready to dive back into the world of Kohaku with the Sundials Expansion, a thrilling addition to the base game that's perfect for 2 to 4 players. Released in 2021, this expansion is designed by Danny Devine and brings a fresh layer of strategy to the table. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time, enjoying games that last around 30 to 45 minutes. The Sundials Expansion offers two exciting new ways to score your koi ponds, adding a whole new level of depth to the game. The first new scoring method is the "Sundials" feature, which gives each player a sundial with N, S, W, and E directions to place in their garden. You'll receive 4 cards to place around your sundial, and the goal is to position your koi and features in the correct relative direction to score bonus points. This addition requires some clever planning and tile placement, as you'll need to think carefully about how to maximize your points. With 4 sundials and 13 sundial cards included, there's plenty of scope for creativity and experimentation. But that's not all - the Sundials Expansion also introduces "Hidden Objectives" scoring, where each player is dealt 2 secret cards and chooses one to keep hidden from the others. This card will be revealed at the end of the game, and the points you've earned from it will be added to your total score. This element of surprise and hidden strategy adds a fun social dimension to the game, as you try to guess what your opponents might be hiding. With 12 hidden objective cards to discover, you'll need to stay on your toes and adapt your strategy to come out on top. Whether you're a seasoned Kohaku fan or just looking for a new challenge, the Sundials Expansion is a must-try.
