Illimat: The Crane Wife Expansion

About this expansion

Illimat: The Crane Wife Expansion is a 2017 expansion for 2–4 players, with a play time of 60 minutes. Inspired by The Crane Wife, it adds new strategies, surprises, Luminaries, and Okus tokens to the Illimat experience.

The expansion introduces six new Luminaries, each contributing to the twists and possibilities of play. The Loom lets you craft at a cost, creating a strategic choice around when its effect is worth pursuing.

Other additions shape the spaces and decisions surrounding the game. The Island is a place of isolation, while The Boat bridges the divide between distant fields. Together, these new elements provide fresh ways to approach the changing situation on the table.

The Crane Wife Expansion also adds moments of risk and disruption. Will you pull off The Perfect Crime, or will The Butchers strike down a Luminary before you can claim it? These possibilities introduce new surprises as players work toward their goals.

• Six new Luminaries
• New Okus tokens
• The Loom, The Island, and The Boat
• The Perfect Crime and The Butchers
• A booklet containing variant rules

The expansion includes the six Luminaries and a booklet with variant rules. The first edition also included two Okus tokens and a cloth bag, making those components part of the original first-edition contents.

With its Crane Wife-inspired additions and new tactical surprises, Illimat: The Crane Wife Expansion offers another way to explore Illimat for groups of two to four players.
