Five years after its initial release, the smash hit Fantasy Realms is getting a major upgrade that will be a must-have for any collector’s shelf and a great way to get new players excited about this classic combo-licious card game! The Deluxe Edition includes new sleek, intuitive graphic design. The base game cards have also been updated to feature new art from Anthony Cournoyer that matches his beloved work on The Cursed Hoard expansion, giving the entire game a fresh look!
Fantasy Realms Deluxe Edition includes:
- The original base game with all new art and graphic design!
- The Cursed Hoard, which includes two expansion modules, also with new graphic design!
- The Jester and Phoenix cards, previously only available as promo cards!
- 100+ art sleeves to protect all the included cards, plus some extras!
In Fantasy Realms, you build your Realm, one card at a time, as you collect Beasts, Armies, Wizards, and more! Each card is unique and scores points based on the other cards in your hand. You start with seven cards, and each turn you’ll draw a new card from the deck or discard, and discard one card from your hand, always trying to improve your Realm! Whoever’s realm scores the most points is the winner! This game is light and easy to teach, but the versatility and tough in-game choices hook players of all experience levels.
Updated components with luxurious full-art sleeves!
Card Evolution: Original Game, 2nd Edition, Deluxe Edition
What is new in this edition?
The graphic design has been entirely revamped, and the base game cards have new art from Anthony Cournoyer, who had already illustrated the expansion, The Cursed Hoard. It also includes the Jester and Phoenix cards, previously only available as promo cards!
Is it compatible with the original base game or expansion?
No, the deluxe edition has unique graphic design and card backs. However, there will be no need to mix the two, since it includes all current Fantasy Realms content. That said, since it includes card sleeves, you can mix them if you really want to!
What is happening to the original base game and expansion?
Future reprints of the base game will feature the updated art with the original graphic design and new box art. The game content is otherwise the same. The expansion will remain in print as is, since it already features the updated art style, and the graphic design matches the base game.
How do I get Jester and Phoenix cards that match the original base game?
These are available through conventions and various online sources, but are not currently available through an official product. Follow WizKids on Facebook and Twitter for opportunities to get them!
