Full publisher description

Add new strategies and surprises to Illimat with new Luminaries and Okus tokens inspired by The Crane Wife. The Loom allows you to craft at a cost. The Island is a place of isolation, while The Boat bridges the divide between distant fields. Will you pull off The Perfect Crime, or will The Butchers strike down a Luminary before you can claim it? This expansion includes six Luminaries and a booklet with variant rules. The first edition also included two Okus tokens and a cloth bag.
