Part 4 – The Dynasty Invasion

Last but certainly not least is the “Dynasty Invasion”!

Sailing from across the ocean, the invaders bring two extra clans to the field: the Moon clan and the Sun clan.  These new factions not only bring new season cards with them, but they also rely on their own “Seven Lucky Gods”, ignoring the “Japanese Monsters” and bringing more variety to the game.

The Dynasty Invasion expansion box contains:

• 27 Miniatures
•    1 Moon Clan Daimyo
•    3 Moon Clan Shinto
•    3 Moon Clan Bushi A
•    3 Moon Clan Bushi B
•    1 Sun Clan Daimyo
•    3 Sun Clan Shinto
•    3 Sun Clan Bushi A
•    3 Sun Clan Bushi B
•    7 Lucky Gods
• 4 Plastic Clan Markers
• 2 Clan Screens
• 1 Political/War Tile
• 8 Stronghold Tokens
• 15 Season Cards
• 7 Lucky God Monster Cards
• 20 Counter Bases

The Budget Conscious – PASS

The plastic tokens aren’t incentive enough to spend an extra $50 on expanding a game I haven’t played yet.  If I like the game enough, I’ll be looking to pick up the expansion when it’s on sale.

The Reveler – BUY

To be honest, I wouldn’t be buying this yet if the plastic tokens weren’t Kickstarter Exclusive.  I suppose I can always sell or trade them if I end up not liking the game, but I would absolutely regret missing out on them.

The Humble Collector – BUY

I definitely want to guarantee that I get the Kickstarter Exclusive plastic tokens.
