Fantastiqa: Fantastic Events Expansion is an expansion for Fantastiqa: The Rucksack Edition released in 2012 for 2–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Alf Seegert and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Point to Point Movement.
The Fantastic Events Expansion contains 24 extra cards -- all EVENTS -- to make your adventures in FANTASTIQA that much more fantastical. These cards are combined with the Creature Card deck at the beginning of the game. This expansion will become available at retailers around 12/1/2012.

UNRULY ARTIFACT (Event--3 cards total): Draw two Artifact cards and tuck one part-way under each Region holding an Artifact Tower. A player who ends his turn in a Region with an Unruly Artifact immediately adds this card to his Discard Pile. WAYWARD BEAST (Event--3 cards total): Draw two Beast cards and tuck one part-way under each Region holding a Beast Bazaar. A player who ends his turn in a Region with a Wayward Beast immediately adds this card to his Discard Pile. MISPLACED QUEST (Event--3 cards total): Draw two Quest cards and tuck one part-way under each Region holding a Quest Chest. A player who ends his turn in a Region with a Misplaced Quest immediately claims this card and places it face-up in front of him like any other Quest. MAGIC CARPET RIDE (Event--3 cards total): Each player may immediately fly to the Region of her choice at the cost of 1 Gem per Region traveled.
