Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for New Dawn: Bonus Game Material is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists New Dawn: Bonus Game Material for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
New Dawn: Bonus Game Material has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game.

The credited designers of New Dawn: Bonus Game Material are: Konstantinos Kokkinis and Sotirios Tsantilas.

The catalogue lists New Dawn: Bonus Game Material as an expansion for New Dawn. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need New Dawn to use it.
