   Adds more cards and different player powers. I love different player powers as it almost forces you to change up your strategy based on what character/faction you play with. I’ve heard there may be some balance issues with some of the characters but I don’t play it enough or care enough to notice it. SLEEVED

   Very good, but could have been excellent! [b]Pros:[/b] I really like the player decks and player powers. The characters and new art and meeples are cute and flavorful! I really like the react cards and the arrive choices, even with fewer players it's just more fun when engaged on your opponents' turns. We had a lot more banter and bluffing about having relevant cards in hand. [b]Cons:[/b] The player powers are not at all balanced. Their power will depend on the player count, where e.g. D'Allan is much better with more players than with fewer, but characters like the Monkeybot Prime are just plain OP. It's such a shame because the flavor of the characters is well done and I love the asymmetry, but it's not fun when the game is decided during set-up.

   5-6 Players: Invisibility Cloak: This item is really, really strong. It doesn't open up any brand new routes for you, but it gives you tons of freedom to just explore around the board freely, since Dragon Attacks will become your only source of damage, and your Swords can be spent on defeating Monsters for more Gold, to buy another Market Item. Maybe it's a suitable addition with more players, but I don't like it. Dungeon Deck cards: I appreciate all of the extra effort that was put into making these cards. The different React triggers are an excellent way of adding a lot of diversity to the cards. They seem very well-designed for 3-4 players, but will miss too often with 2 players, and activate too frequently with 5-6 player's I'd imagine. My biggest issue with the Dungeon Deck cards is the Monsters and Arrive Choice cards, as they lead to an overabundance of Gold among the players. Potion of Stealth: It's certainly a minor secret, and only any good with 5-6 players. Characters: A fun addition to the game, but not so fun that I'd always want to use them, especially due to some imbalance between them (especially MonkeyBot Prime and Whiskers). Agnet: Suitable power level, but can sometimes falter due to a dependence on Companions. D'allan: He seems unexciting, but once you start getting your Finds, you realize how fun he can be. Garignar: A fun and flexible character to play as. Lenara: Her spells would be cooler if they were weaker, but you could use them more frequently. Starting with a teleport in her deck ends up being more exciting. MonkeyBot Prime: I haven't even played with it yet, and I still know it's way too strong. Whiskers: Seems quite weak.
