  1. 7 out of 10

    After two play, I don't see ever playing the base game again. The expansion gives mote scoring flexibility and adds more uses to the tokens. Not a must buy for the base game, but one to add after a dozen plays.

  2. 7 out of 10

    This expansion adds another fun layer to an already great game. If you haven't played lanterns yet then of course you should start there. With the expansion you add another rotating layer of strategy. Now you build platforms to add to your income. They do a good job of balancing out the randomness of the tile deck, and mitigate the fact that you could end up in games where you draw no good tiles.

  3. 7.1 out of 10

    Makes a decent game more decent. I don't understand why all the emperor powers aren't available in all the games. My family enjoys it.

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.
