Dominion Nocturne

Dominion Nocturne is a large expansion with 77 unique cards. It adds Night cards, which you can play during a new phase after the Buy phase, along with Heirlooms, Boons, Hexes, Wishes and Spirits.

New card types

Night cards are played in the Night phase, which comes after Buy and before Clean-up. During this phase, you can play any number of Night cards. If any Kingdom cards in play have an Heirloom banner, each player starts with that Heirloom instead of one Copper in their starting deck.

The expansion includes 33 Kingdom cards, 14 Night cards, 8 Fate cards, 6 Doom cards, 7 Heirlooms and 3 Spirits. Some cards can produce non-supply cards, including Wishes and three kinds of Spirits.

Boons and Hexes

If any Kingdom cards in play have the Fate type, Boons are included as a non-supply pile. They form a face-down deck; when you receive a Boon, reveal the top card and follow its instructions. If any Kingdom cards have the Doom type, Hexes are included in the same way, and Doom cards can give players Hexes.

Three Hexes and one Kingdom card give players States. A State sits in front of a player and applies a rule. Some are kept, such as Miserable; some are returned, such as Deluded; and Lost in the Woods remains until another player takes it.

A new phase

The turn sequence is Action, Buy, Night and Clean-up. The Night phase gives you a chance to play any number of Night cards after the Buy phase.
