Pandoria: Extra Realms Tableaus is an expansion for Pandoria released in 2018 for 2–4 players, 90–120 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Bernd Eisenstein and Jeffrey D. Allers and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Area Majority / Influence.
Two Bonus-Tableaus/Extra Realms Tableaus were given out at SPIEL '18 at the Irongames booth 2-B103 when buying the base game. These two extra boards that were given out with the base game at Essen have only a "B"-side. (the back side have the rules for the board). You are supposed to shuffle them with the other "B"-side boards and deal one each randomly to each player. Nymphs Nymphs are the spirits of the mountains, trees, meadows and lakes, but are not always bound to them. You start with 7 crystals, 4 gold and 2 wood. Special ability: if the scored region consists of at least 4 spaces and you are involved in the scoring, you will receive +3 of the scored resource or +1 glory point. Hanbok A Hanbok is a Korean tiger in a traditional Korean dress. You start with 3 crystals, 3 gold and 6 wood. Special ability: if you close a region in which there were opponent's figures, instead of returning them to their reserves, place them in your own reserve as "captives". Each of these figures is worth one point for you at the end of the game. Instead of placing or taking back a figure on their turn, an opponent can retrieve any number of captured figures back into his reserve. For each figure, the Hanbok receives a resource of her choice from that player.
Pandoria: Extra Realms Tableaus supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Pandoria: Extra Realms Tableaus is 90–120 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 Pandoria: Extra Realms Tableaus for ages 10 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.
