  1. 6.5 out of 10

    2-4 players Definitely elevates the base game with 2 additional mechanics; just enough to make it worth playing. The base game alone is just short of worthwhile, in my opinion. However, even with the bump in player choice and strategy from the expansion, it still doesn't make the cut. Instead of playing Lanterns with this expansion, I'd probably prefer to reach for, say, Marvel Splendor, which is a similar set collection game, Cat Lady, or Reef.

  2. 8 out of 10

    Playtested this for Foxtrot Games, and it's really good. Adds interesting dynamics to the game without making it more stressful. I love Lanterns because it is a soothing closer game for game night. This expansion will brighten that time up!

  3. 8 out of 10

    The base game of Lanterns is deceptively deep, while remaining accessible to new players. I had the good fortune to preview the expansion, which adds breadth to an already deep game.

The emperor has declared that pavilions shall be constructed among the lanterns floating on the lake for this year’s festival. Place pavilions to earn gifts from the emperor and redeem those gifts for powerful actions to make this the best harvest festival yet!

In Lanterns: The Emperor’s Gifts, an expansion to Christopher Chung’s award-winning Lanterns: The Harvest Festival, players start with a small supply of pavilions. When you place a tile, you may choose to build a pavilion on that tile. When you make a color match on a pavilion, you earn a gift from the emperor, a new currency that can activate special actions, as defined by emperor cards.

Two emperor cards are revealed each game. On their turn, a player can redeem two gifts to activate one card and perform the special action associated with it — make an extra dedication at the end of your turn, convert favor tokens into victory points, and more! These new abilities add variety and enhance the experience of Lanterns: The Harvest Festival while honoring the simplicity of the original game.
