Fantastiqa: Fantastiqal Landscapes Expansion

Three new interlocking expansions for Fantastiqa, by Alf Seegert. See FILES below for a recommended designer variant!

This expansion is compatible with both the Enchanted Edition and the Rucksack Edition of Fantastiqa. You must have one of these versions in order to play.

I. CLOUD CRYSTALS and GEM BAGS

You’ve overheard a secret at a tea party of talkative fairies! If you combine three Gems of identical color, they will magically transform into a valuable Cloud Crystal!

A Gem Bag is used to keep Gem colors secret when drawing them at random. (Your Dog is smart: he will dig up a Gem in any color you request!)

Trade in 3 identically colored Gems to collect a Cloud Crystal. Cloud Crystals are large bluish crystals worth 5 Gems (!) in purchasing power -- but they only count as one single Gem in the eyes of the Mischievous Raven! Cloud Crystals are thus a great way to increase your wealth.... safely.

Cloud Crystals are also the only way to gain admission to the illustrious Castle in the Air.....!

II. THE CASTLE IN THE AIR

The Castle in the Air is an exotic, exclusive, and largely inaccessible Region of Fantastiqa, filled with all conceivable Artifacts, Beasts and works of fine art. A special Flying Carpet service is eager to convey you to its cloudy abode.... if you have the Cloud Crystals to pay for admission!
