Rising Sun: Comic Book Extras

About this expansion

Rising Sun: Comic Book Extras is a 2021 expansion featuring 96 exclusive Clan and Province mini cards for 3–5 players, with a play time of 120 minutes. These cards support three special game modes that change the rules of war.

Each player receives a complete set of eight Province cards and eight Clan cards. This replaces the original requirement to write a chosen Province or Clan on a piece of paper, allowing secret selections to be made directly with dedicated components.

• Ninjas of Rising Sun: Secretly assign a Ninja to a Province to surprise opponents and take down two figures there before the War Phase.
• The Ichiko: Secretly predict who will win the battle at a Province. A correct prediction lets you steal the War Province token from its rightful winner.
• Merciful Conquest: Secretly choose a Province for special battle rules. The winner receives more Victory Points, while losing figures are not killed.

The package also includes the Tower Season Cards Set, containing 15 Season cards originally made for the Dice Tower and designed by its team. These cards introduce new Enhancements, Virtues, War upgrades, and Winter upgrades.

Used alongside the basic Season cards, the Tower set creates a new play experience while the Clan and Province cards add hidden choices to battles. The extras were included with the Kickstarter edition of the 68-page Rising Sun graphic novel, an exclusive edition of the three Rising Sun issues published by IDW. Together, these components offer new ways to shape conflict and seasonal play in Rising Sun.
