- base game and Crossroads with better cardboard and card stock
- bigger board with integrated Crossroads expansion
- new sculpted scoring tokens
- lovely metal coins with their own bag
- custom wooden die for Crossroads
- 16 ultra detailed minis (unpainted)
- colored bases for the minis
- the character expansion: 16 extra characters to play with!
- soundtrack cd with 25 tracks composed for the game
- pdf rulebooks in 4 additional languages
And at the higher levels:
- pdf artbook
- Eriku promo character and mini
- the new encounters promo (with better card stock)
- Naïade and Antoine Bauza characters and minis
- the Matsuri expansion (event deck)
- all 35 minis pre-painted by the same company who did the Takenoko minis.
