After each game, players will receive new treasures and player cards that allow them to become more powerful.

Each card brings a certain amount of heat to the fire and also requires the fire to be above a certain heat to burn it. With the fire constantly dying out, players must work together against the encroaching cold to sequence their cards so everything in the deck can be burned.\n\n\n\nThe Coldest Night\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKodama Forest\n\n\n\nSpringtime has come again, and your forest is blooming! However, the magical kodama spirits will only grace the lushest and most beautiful of landscapes. Plant bamboo and flowers to attract friendly pandas and butterflies to beautify your plot of land. Plan carefully to ensure that your two forests can be filled with as many plants and animals as possible in order to please the colorful kodama.\n\n\n\nIn Kodama Forest, everyone works with their neighbors to cover as much of their shared player boards as possible. Every round, each player places one tile on the board to their right and one tile on the board to their left. Forests are penalized for every uncovered dirt section and the game ends when one board has covered all of its \u201c5\u201d and \u201c10\u201d dirt spaces. Players score both of their shared boards, with the lowest combined score determining the winner. Balancing cooperation and competition is the key to victory.\n\n\n\nKodama Forest\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisney Shadowed Kingdom\n\n\n\nDiscover the magic. Dispel the shadow.&nbsp;In the two-player co-operative card game&nbsp;Disney Shadowed Kingdom, you enlist the help of your favorite Disney hero and team up with a friend to dispel the Shadow polluting The Kingdom and journey to discover lost Magic.\n\n\n\nGameplay revolves around silently adding cards face down to a 2\u00d72 grid in one of two directions, causing cards to be pushed either into the hand of your partner for discovery or out of the grid completely, dispelling them from play. Each card that is discovered features either:\n\n\n\nMagic, which counts toward points needed for victory,Shadow, which inches you further from your goal, orLocations that are explored, triggering in-game effects.\n\n\n\nDisney heroes provide special powers that can be activated throughout the course of your journey. To win, max out your Magic Tracker before the Shadow Tracker is full.\n\n\n\nDisney Shadowed Kingdom (2020)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContents:\n\n\n\n24 Cards6 Hero Tiles2 Tokens\n\n\n\nMagic\/Shadow TrackerRule book\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNumenera Liminal Shore\n\n\n\nOver a billion years into the Earth\u2019s future, great civilizations have risen and fallen, each attaining wonders beyond our wildest dreams and furthest imaginings.
