About the game
Bring to the table the inscrutable force of fate through a set collection mechanic. Make the Omen come true by collecting signs, sacrificing immediate gains to unravel treacherous powers. The Omen is a new type of card which comes along with its own several abilities. An Omen card allows you to beat your opponents by building a long term alternative strategy that could be a game changer, if deployed in the right moment. This kind of strategy is not costless, but it surely leads to huge rewards. The new Omen cards provide powerful effects that need specific set collections to trigger. The cards collected in this way are called Signs and can be added or removed during the game, offering new opportunities for direct interaction between players. Volfyirion Guilds - Omen Expansion is not a standalone game. It can be played either with Volfyirion, or Volfyirion Guilds in 1vs1 mode. The Omen Expansion can be combined with Volfyirion, Volfyirion Guilds, or any other expansion, for an even more challenging experience. In any case we do not recommend combining more than two expansions at the same time. —description from the publisher
