Flavor Text

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. You're not sure which, but at least you've narrowed it down. You are rich with life experiences, but have had trouble trading them for goods and services. It's time to seek your fortune, or anyone's really, whoever's is closest. To the west there's a land of milk and honey, full of giant bees and monstrous cows. To the east, a land of eggs and licorice. To the north, treacherous swamps; to the south, loyal jungles. But all of them have been thoroughly pillaged. You've heard legends though of a fifth direction, as yet unspoiled, with its treasures conveniently gathered into troves. You have your sword and your trail mix, handed down from your father, and his father before him. You've recruited some recruits and hired some hirelings; you've shined your armor and distressed a damsel. You put up a sign saying "Gone Adventuring." Then you put up another sign, saying "Beware of Dog," in case people get any ideas. You're ready. You saddle up your trusty steed, and head florst.

Trivia

Adventures is the first expansion to be released after Donald X. stated he would no longer release expansions on a regular basis, making this the first "occasional" expansion. It is the second large expansion, after Dark Ages, and the second expansion whose box's color scheme is grey, though of a darker shade than Intrigue's. Donald X has stated that Adventures started off as a "treasure chest" set that revisited themes from every previous expansion, but the only theme that both stood out and did not require the repeated inclusion of old tokens or other components was Duration cards. He has also stated that, in retrospect, Adventures could have been a spin-off game.

Teaser

The weekend before previews, Donald X. posted a teaser of "bits of information about the expansion that don't actually tell you any cards."
