Dwellings of Eldervale: Oracle Hex Tile

About this expansion

Dwellings of Eldervale: Oracle Hex Tile is a Ruin realm tile for 1–5 players, with a listed play time of 200 minutes. It adds an option for gaining cards and developing your tableau during a game of Dwellings of Eldervale.

When you place a Unit on the Oracle, choose one of two available effects. You can purchase one Adventure card, or you can gain one Magic card.

• Place a Unit on the Oracle.
• Purchase one Adventure card, or gain one Magic card.

The Oracle is especially suited to players looking for more opportunities to pursue engine building. Adventure cards let you build your set of Tableau Actions, creating another way to develop this part of your game.

Unlike gaining an Adventure card by pulling a tile from the Realm Stack, using the Oracle allows players to obtain one without removing a tile from that stack. This gives the Oracle a distinct role within the flow of the game.

The Realm Stack is one of the two stated “game clocks” in Dwellings of Eldervale. Because the Oracle can provide Adventure cards without pulling a tile from the Realm Stack, the Oracle Realm may extend the game length.

As a result, the Oracle Hex Tile brings a focused card-acquisition and tableau-development option to the realm. It connects Unit placement with Adventure cards, Magic cards, and the possibility of extending the game’s timing.
