Meteors Change Everything
Under Starry Skies adds 15 Meteor Region cards that shuffle directly into the main Region deck. These cards integrate seamlessly into the existing flow of play, while introducing bold new twists that ripple through the entire game.
Meteor Regions can:
- Help players discover Sanctuaries at pivotal moments
- Break turn-order ties, rewarding precise timing
- And most dramatically, remain face-up during scoring, influencing later cards and how exploration values match across a player’s tableau
New Quests, Deeper Decisions
The expansion also introduces new quest requirements that expand on the base game’s scoring system. Players may be rewarded for collecting certain colors, Clues, or nighttime cards — or tempted to sacrifice Sanctuaries entirely in exchange for powerful point swings.
Also, the mystical fifth biome color that was introduced in the previous expansion (People From Below), Mystical Havens, returns.
