About the game
Пенумбра: Свет и мрак ("Penumbra: Light and Darkness") expansion introduces the mechanics of Fate — an aspiration towards either Light or Darkness. Your rewards will include new Spark Marks, as well as powerful cards for the advanced Diamond and Onyx Disciplines. These contain potent new spells, potions, familiars, and even artifacts. Many of these cards can single-handedly shift your game strategy and provide a significant advantage. Furthermore, the expansion allows you to study and perform ancient rituals, take school exams, and delve into the dungeon within the ruins. The expansion also includes two new player boards (in two new colors), which feature two new solo automas on their reverse side.
