Two phases a round. One season to rise.
Each round has two phases. In the Player Phase you take turns placing your three Social Tokens on action spaces across the three districts of the board. In the Event Phase, events conclude, everyone who attended collects the reward, and the Time of Day advances from Morning to Afternoon to Evening.
Events: Host a Personal Event from your hand, or attend up to three Personal and Grand Events at once. Hosts earn a bonus for every guest.
Market: Acquire Estate Cards and Item Cards, or wipe a market and refill it before taking your pick.
Estate: Play Estate Cards to place Estate Pieces into the rooms of your house, rearrange pieces, and rearrange the Items you display.
Fully furnished rooms unlock your character's Room Bonuses. Status you earn goes into your Status Pool and buys your way up the 10-space Status Track, and every step up grants an Influence Token to spend on five reusable Influence Powers. Exclusive spots seat one player and Common spots seat everyone, so timing matters.
Winning: The game ends the round a player reaches the final space of the Status Track. Only players who reach it can win, and the one with the most Status left in their pool takes the season.
The Visionary, The Opportunist, The Artist, and The Collector. Each has an always-on social ability and a different set of Room Bonuses, so the same house plays differently in every game.
Play against The Automaton, a rule-driven rival with its own action deck, Threat Tokens, and five Scenario Cards that change the rules and the difficulty. A Sabotage space lets you slow it down if you can meet the category requirement.
4 buildable Player Estates: Blackthorn Hall, Scarletridge Estate, Dovecote Manor, and Solaire House. Three stories each, assembled before the first turn.
Main board and 4 Player Boards: with 12 Social Tokens, 4 Player Markers, and 24 Influence Tokens.
56 Status Gems: 14 per color, 10 small and 4 big.
254 cards: 125 Estate Cards, 60 Item Cards, 39 Personal Event Cards, and 30 Grand Event Cards.
80 Estate Pieces and 28 Category Tokens: the furniture and the currency that fills your rooms.
Solo mode: Automaton Board, 4 Automaton Action Cards, 5 Scenario Cards, and the Automaton's Player Marker.
Time of Day Token, First Player Token, die, and rulebook.
The Garden Expansion: Garden Board, The Gardener Player Board with 3 Swan Tokens and its own gems and markers, 25 Garden Cards, 12 Item Cards, 6 Personal Event Cards, 3 Grand Event Cards, and the solo scenario The Overgrowth.
The Oddities Expansion: The Mystic Player Board with 3 Raven Tokens and its own gems and markers, 25 Oddity Cards, 12 Item Cards, 6 Personal Event Cards, 3 Grand Event Cards, and the solo scenario The Rival Mystic.
56 solid metal keys: one for every Status Gem in the core game, with a velvet drawstring bag to keep them in.
Quick-Play Board Set: four illustrated 2D estate boards for faster setup.
Two boxes that change how the season is played.
Adds a Garden Board alongside the main board with a river of three Garden Cards that drift right as new ones appear. The new Tend action places one of your Status Gems on a Garden Card for an immediate reward, an ongoing benefit while your gem stays, or a payout when the card exits the board. The Gardener, a fifth character, can Plant gems on action spaces to claim them as Patches and later Harvest them to trigger Room Bonuses.
Adds a 25-card Oddities Deck beside the Time of Day track. Each Day one Active Oddity is revealed and rewrites the rules for every player until the Overnight Restock, so the whole table adapts on the fly. The Mystic, a sixth character, keeps Estate Cards face-up in a public Archive instead of a hand and can spend a Social Token on the Archive Action to turn Archive cards into powerful room effects.
56 solid metal keys: replace every Status Gem in the core game. Real weight in the hand and a metallic clink on the table.
Velvet component bag: a custom-embroidered drawstring bag for the keys.
Quick-Play Board Set: four illustrated 2D estate boards with the same rooms and the same rules as the 3D houses, for faster setup.
All three are included in the Complete Estate and are also available as add-ons.
