  1. 7 out of 10

    Based on play in iOS app. I think this expansion adds enough to keep the game simple and still offer more variety between different plays.

  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. Surprisingly, the family really likes the Lanterns game. Watched Zee's video. If we played Lanterns a lot, this expansion would be nice for variety. As it is, we don't play often and this doesn't introduce much new content. My opinion: Makes some of the game a bit less friendly, more competitive, and maybe unbalanced?

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.
