THE VALE OF ETERNITY: ARTIFACTS EXPANSION

The Vale of Eternity: Artifacts, an expansion forThe Vale of Eternity, adds 28 creature cards with new effects to the deck, as well as artifacts that players draft during the hunting phase at the start of each round.

In more detail, at the start of a round reveal twice as many creatures as players in the usual way, then starting with the first player, each player drafts an artifact without their marker on it by placing their marker on that artifact. (In effect, you can’t draft the same artifact you had the previous round.) Some artifacts have instant effects you use immediately, others give you a permanent effect that entire round, and others grant you an action that you can use once on a turn. After drafting artifacts, players draft creature cards in the usual way.

When using artifacts, the victory threshold for the game is now 80 points instead of 60, although the game still ends after ten rounds regardless of the score.
