Allies, (March 2022) a large expansion of 31 Kingdom cards, introduces Favors and revisits (rotating) split piles. Themes are choices between different effects and recursion.
- Plunder, (November 2022) an extra-large expansion of 40 Kingdom cards, has been announced by Rio Grande Games as of 28 August 2022. "It has lots of Treasures and Durations, with cards that give you Loot, and Traits that modify piles. Events return."[1]
There are also several promotional cards that are typically made for gaming conventions, a set of Base Cards for adding players or replacing worn cards, and a number of combined and "special edition" sets built from pre-existing expansions. Notably, Cornucopia and Guilds have been re-released in a combined and, in later years, revised edition (Guilds & Cornucopia) to include additional materials (Coffers mats, Bane marker).
Trivia
Different total numbers of cards
Jay would just repeat to me (if I asked), that I should make the expansion as good as it can be and then he'll deal with what cost or whatever that means. But I do nevertheless take into account the tokens/mats; they're an extra cost, and it's nice if the expansions are the same price.
There's no special time I decide the size. I work on the set and gradually have more cards and more of an idea of what tokens/mats/landscapes/non-supply cards are in it. At some point I feel like, this wants to be this many cards. These days the size tends to be as large as it can be while including the other components.
