Centuries later, archaeologists discover the remains of your ancient civilization.

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Finally, they come upon a stone tablet, which contains but one mysterious phrase!

'ISOTROPIC WILL RETURN!'

For Adventures, the real previews had already started by the time April Fool's Day came around. But if the May 18th release date holds, that won't be true for Empires! Are you up to the task, Watno?

Well, it's a lot more work than Guilds, but maybe I can get some inside info again.

Actually, you need:

Elba Island Action-Victory $5

Set this and another card from your hand aside. If you set aside a card costing $8 or more, gain a St Helena Island.

Then make St. Helena worth 5 VP and have a * in its cost.

So, the description mentions 96 metal tokens.  I'm disinclined to think those are *all* going to be VP tokens, so that means we have tokens being used for other purposes.  Are they used for Landmarks?  Are Coin tokens returning (seems unlikely, since that would probably have been in the description)?

I believe I read somewhere that Landmarks produce VP. I think it is possible all of them will have some condition that when met makes VP for a player. Just a guess.

Anyway, Prosperity was sort of lacking in VP tokens. In games with more than 2-players, it was super easy to run out of tokens.

Anyway, I predict we will get a 10VP token, and I would not be surprised if they put extra tokens in this time to account for more players or games where a lot of VP is generated like Goons.

So, I think it's entirely possible we're only getting VP tokens, but who knows...except for the play testers...which seems to be a decent portion of this forum.

I really doubt there will be a 10 VP token. If there were a higher value, I think it'd be something like 20 or 25, since 10 only saves one extra token on your mat. It would feel like a waste of tokens to have a value so close to 5.

Hahaha so good

'Put your tavern mat on an Action supply pile' sounds like one of those markov chain generated cards

Another guess: I'm going to wager that Ryan Laukat will contribute card art in this set, since he's done art for every single previous set, excepting Promos.  Yes, that includes the new Base Cards (he did the Treasures).  Also highly likely: Matthias Catrein (is basically synonymous with Dominion art, doing more than half of the base set, multiple box covers, and been art director), Alayna Lemmer, Claus Stefan, Harald Lieske, Julien Delval, Martin Hoffman (all of them have contributed multiple card arts, including for Adventures), and most likely Marco Morte (he did seven arts for Adventures, as well as Summon).  Also Lynell Ingram will probably get in at least one - hopefully it will be more like Princess and Mandarin and less like Borrow.  Oh, and Kurt Miller will probably have some CGI art thrown in there.

I believe Claus Stephan is the correct spelling.

He has been credited both ways - in fact, Village is "ph" and Mine is "f".  But the "f" spelling was used in Adventures.  So... I'm all sorts of confused.

Good to know!

By the way, this prowling around artists led me to find Joshua Stewart's portfolio page, and the full-size art for his Adventures Events are just gorgeous:
