About this expansion

Xia: Balanced Economy Promo Card is a promotional Event Card for 3-5 players, designed for games with a 180-minute play time and released in 2020.

Created for the 2020 Dice Tower Kickstarter campaign, this card adds a dexterity element to the game. It uses three plasma cubes, which are stacked on the card at the start of the card’s effect.

The stack changes as players buy and sell plasma. When buying cubes, a player may also take one cube off the card. When selling plasma, the cubes are added to the stack, raising the challenge for the next test of stability.

  • Starting stack: Three plasma cubes are placed on the card.
  • Buying cubes: A player may take a cube from the card.
  • Selling plasma: The cubes are added to the stack.
  • Fame reward: A stack of six or more cubes that does not fall earns the player a Fame Point.

The scoring condition combines height and balance. Reaching six or more cubes is not enough on its own: the stack must also remain standing, giving the card its defining dexterity-based outcome.

As a promotional addition, Xia: Balanced Economy Promo Card focuses on one compact interaction between plasma cubes, buying, selling, and Fame Points. Its simple stack-building rule creates a clearly defined challenge within the broader game.
