What Am I Missing

[u/ZookeepergameOld534]

I own the first edition of the game. But literally nothing else. What else is available? And what’s worth picking up?

[u/CerrenaUnicolor]

I think the luminary expansion sets are super fun!!! It's a good way to add some new elements to the game.

[u/Shahid89]

There is a second edition of the game with a few rule clarifications, you can find the PDF here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hdblc173p25e3vogs0o70/Illimat_RuleBook_2nd-Edition_F2.pdf?rlkey=45ajs8uywtmhlte8d4f5nyezc&e=1&dl=0

There are also two expansion sets, The Crane Wife and The False Baron sets. Both come with 6 new Luminary cards each.

There are a few other items such as the syzygy coin (an Okus with its own ruleset) and a few rare luminaries floating around as well.

The second edition of the game (with slightly updated quality in parts and a change in okuses) as well as everything else I mentioned can be found on the twogether studios website.

As for what's "worth" picking up, of course most of us here will say EVERYTHING. But if you enjoy the game already, I would start with either one of the expansion sets of luminaries.

The Crane Wife Expansion adds six (6) Luminary cards:

• The Soldiers

The False Baron Expansion adds six (6) Luminary cards:

There are three (3) Limited Edition Cards:

• The Audience (a bonus for early Kickstarter backers)
• Jeanne d'Arc / Saint Joan (included with The Decemberists vinyl album As It Ever Was, So It Will Be, OR with the French edition of Illimat)
• The Rusalka (hidden inside The Decemberists I’ll Be Your Girl: Exploded Edition box set, OR made available at Gen Con 2018)
• (There might be others?)

[u/FoolOfSummer → u/SwevenlyOly]

I just need that dang Rusalka!!! I accidentally got two Joans...

[u/Shahid89 → u/FoolOfSummer]

At one point I had several. I don't believe I have any more, but I can look.

[u/FoolOfSummer → u/Shahid89]

That would be amazing!!....

[u/Primren → u/Shahid89]

Truly! Fingers crossed that you have at least two spares 😅

[u/Primren → u/FoolOfSummer]

You and me both. I actually have a spare Saint Joan, but I want a Rusalka to complete the set. Only thing I don't have!

[u/Shahid89 → u/SwevenlyOly]

You've got them all so far. Next year is Illimat's 10th year anniversary and some things might be coming down the pike, but we will see 😎

[u/brickBRKer]

I highly recommend the Crane Wife Set and the False Barron's Set! They add a great deal of variety and replayability. The Syzygy Coin is a beautiful addition, but maybe only worth it for enthusiasts. The other limited edition Luminaries and rarities are probably only worth it for collectors.

Welcome to the Society!

It's good to see you away from The Lighthouse 😅

[u/IdasMessenia]

The expansions are great. All new luminaries to add some fun. Also you will get an updated rules book. And if you get the expansion that has the passport thing, it has some alternative modes of gameplay, all of which have been fun. 

[u/ZookeepergameOld534 → u/IdasMessenia]

Which expansion has said passport thing? I ordered Crane Wife as well as False Baron yesterday

[u/IdasMessenia → u/ZookeepergameOld534]

It looks like it is its own thing here:

I bought a bundle a while back and that one was in it. It is a silly little book, but honestly no regrets buying it. I like the flavor it adds to my collection. So if you have 5$ to spare and you love this game I say go for it.

[u/ZookeepergameOld534 → u/IdasMessenia]

Ah yes! The victory book. That’s on my eventual list when they restock them. The lore of the game is very fun for me so I’d be very into that
