DARK ALLEY

1) Dark Alley - Special Assignment cards for each Location can be used for the action text or grant +1 Action Point (+1~
~) at that Location.

2) Prophecies – Each round a new mechanic that changes the base rules is introduced to all players for that round.

DAHLGAARD'S GIFTS

1) Magician Powers (MP) Additional cards to give each magicians special powers and make them unique ; can only be used with Dark Alley

2) Duel of Magicians (DM) Alternative performance cards dedicated to the 2-player games

DAHLGAARD’S ACADEMY

1) Academy: Renovate the Academy! Each Renovation action awards Fame proportionately to the Coins spent on it, and opens up new Classrooms and
Practice Rooms. Academy Trick markers (ATM) in Practice Rooms give the performed Tricks increased Yield or other special placement abilities, while the
Tricks taught in the Classrooms can no longer be performed, but grant a useful passive yield each turn. The Academy is also a place to train up a Protégé.

2) Protégé: Each Magician will now start with the Protégé, a new type of specialist. By Visiting the Academy, Protégés can acquire powerful new abilities that
also increase their Action Points - and their salary as well! A fully developed Protégé will have 3 Actions points, just like the Magician, with some very
powerful abilities to boot!

3) Dahlgaard’s Heir - Solo mode (2-player set-up) with AI Player

DAWN OF TECHNOLOGY

1) Contraptions - Contraptions can be assembled as a Workshop Action, for the cost of 1 Coin per Contraption already in place. They can be used any time
during a player's turn by turning them to their inactive side, and receiving a bonus based on the player's Magic school

2) Signature Tricks - Player may choose to learn a Signature Trick (if you meet its Fame threshold). Each Signature Trick “upgrades” a Trick from the original
set. If a Signature Trick is learned, the standard version is removed from the deck. And if an opponent already learned its standard version, your Signature
Trick no longer has a Fame Threshold! Signature Tricks have the same component requirements as their standard version, but they also require
Contraptions to function.

QUICK ORDER

BUY BARGAIN
BUY (1~~): For 1 Action Point, the player may buy up to
three Components of the same type. They also have to pay
the price of each Component bought (1/2/3 Coins per
•Basic/ ••Advanced/ •••Superior Component). Only
Components in the Market Row’s Buy area (the current
stock) can be bought this way.
BARGAIN (1~ ~): Use Bargain together with a ‘Buy’
Action. You may decrease the total price of
Components bought by 1 Coin per Action Point spent on
‘Bargain’. You may never decrease the total price to 0.

Bought Components are taken from the general supply, not from the
Display area. The number of Components is not considered limited.
Acquired Components are placed on the Component slots on the
Player Game Board to a limit of 3 per slot. Different Components
occupy separate slots.
Note: Manager’s Board Extension contains two
Multi Component slots. Component piles on
these slots count as if they consisted of one more
of that Component. Bonus Components on this
board count towards the limit of 3 of that type.
Players may return Components to the general
supply at any time to make room for new ones.
QUICK ORDER (2~ ~): For 2 Action Points, a player may
place any Component onto the Quick Order slot in the
Market Row (if the slot isn’t empty, return the Component
there to the supply first). That Component becomes part
of the Market Row’s stock this turn (for all players), and
can be acquired with the ‘Buy’ Action. The Coin price of
the Component on the Quick Order slot is increased by 1.
During the ‘End Turn’ phase, the Component on the Quick
Order slot is returned to the supply.
ORDER (1~~): Order Components not currently available in
the Market Row to be available for the next round. For 1
Action Point, the player may place a Component from the
supply onto an open slot in the Order area (as long as the
same Component type is not already there).

When a Trick is Prepared, place a number of Trick markers on it equal to the

DRAW FIRST PAIR (1~ ~): The player picks any one Special
Assignment deck and then draws two cards from it, choosing
one to keep, and putting the other at the bottom of the deck. A
player may only take this Action once per Character placement.

DRAW FURTHER PAIRS (2~ ~): Same as ‘Draw First Card’ but

SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT CARDS - When drawn, these cards are

added to the player’s hand of Assignment cards and are used
during the subsequent ‘Assignment’ phases.
• Special Assignment cards can only be used once. At ‘End Turn’ phase, used cards are discarded to the bottom of their decks.
• Each card has a bonus printed on it that typically enhances a specific Action (shown by the framed image above the card text) at
the card’s Location and only applies for one such Action, even if the player takes more than one of that Action with the Character,
unless the card specifies otherwise.
When a Character is placed using a Special Assignment card, any Action can be chosen at the Special Assignment card’s Location,
but if it’s not the one enhanced by the card, the bonus is lost.
• Some cards have a ‘?’ printed in the frame; in that case, the bonus is applicable to any one Action at the Location.

SET UP TRICK (1~ ~): The player may move one

of their Trick markers from a Trick in the
Workshop onto a free slot on a Performance
card of their choice. The Trick marker’s corner
that corresponds with the Trick’s category
(top of Trick card) must be in a Link circle
connecting two slots.

After setting up a Trick and placing the Trick marker, if two

of the same Trick category symbols are in the same Link
circle (as seen on the picture), those two Tricks are linked.
The player who created the Link(s) immediately receives a
Fame or Coin bonus for each Link, equal to the Level of the
Trick they placed to create the Link.
Additionally, if there is a Shard symbol in the Link circle
where the Link is created, each player with a Trick marker
in the Link also immediately receives one Trickerion Shard.
If a player creates a Link over a Shard symbol with their
own Trick, they only receive a single Shard, not two.
It is possible to create multiple Links with a single Trick
marker placement. Creating Links is not obligatory.
SPECIALISTS
PERFORM (MAGICIAN ONLY): This is a special Action that can only be
taken by the Magician in the subsequent ‘Performance’ phase.
NOTE: Magician Characters can also be used to Set Up and Reschedule
Tricks (like any other Character), but in those cases, they have to be
placed on the backstage slots, so they cannot Perform the same turn.
TRICKS YIELD: In weekday order, players with a Magician on one of the
Performance slots choose ONE Performance card with their own Trick
marker(s) on it and Perform ALL Tricks on the card.

PERFORMER BONUS: (Only the Performer receives)
CARD • 1 bonus Fame per Link in the Performance.
• Fame, Coins or Shards based on their Specialist(s) in the Theater.
• Fame, Coins or Shards based on the chosen Performance card.
 The Magician Powers variant can only be
played together with the Dark Alley.

GENERAL SETUP
Shuffle each of the three Power decks (yellow, orange and red) and place them face down next to the Main Game Board where players
can conveniently reach them. Similarly to Trick cards, Magician Powers of different colors also have Fame Thresholds of 1, 16 or 36
(printed in a star on each side of the card).

PLAYER SETUP
In addition to the basic starting setup, each player receives 4 Magician Powers of each color (12 in total).
Players then evaluate these cards and discard any 4, so they have 8 to use throughout the game.
Each player receives 3 Trickerion Shards instead of 1.

ASSIGNMENT PHASE
At the beginning of the ‘Assignment’ phase, each player may learn up to one Power card.
Powers are learned by placing them face up next to the Power slots on the left edge of the Player Game Board.
A Power can only be placed next to a Power slot if:
• It is printed on the Power card as a valid slot
(valid slots are highlighted with an arrow on the right edge of each Power card),
• The slot is opened with Trickerion Shards, and
• The player meets the Power’s Fame Threshold (1 / 16 / 36)
(or pays the difference between the Fame Threshold and their actual Fame with Coins).
If a slot already has a Power placed next to it, the player must return it to their hand before placing a new Power there.

TRICKERION SHARDS
Trickerion Shards are stored on the Power slots of the Player Game Board by putting each received Shard on the Shard symbols there.
Shards must be added from the bottom up (starting with the 1 Shard symbol) and spent from the top down.
A Power slot with a Shard on all of its Shard symbols is considered open, and Powers can be placed there. When a Shard is spent from
a Power slot, the Power placed there is immediately returned to the player’s hand.
In case the player has a Shard on all symbols, and has excess ones, those are spent first.

GAME END
• Trickerion Shards do not grant Fame points at the end of the game.
• Unless otherwise specified, the maximum number of Fame Points that can be scored from game end cards is 20
 The Duel of Magicians game variant is an optional rule set designed to
make the traditional two-player games more tense and diverse.

Two new game elements are used in the Duel of Magicians:

• Turn Setup cards, and
• Performance cards with gray Trick markers printed on them.

GENERAL SETUP
Create a deck with seven (7) face up Turn Setup cards and place them next to the Main Game Board.
If playing without the Dark Alley, create this deck with only five (5) cards.
Use the Performance cards with gray Trick markers printed on them to create the Performance deck.

ROLL DICE
• After rolling the Downtown dice, place the top card of the Turn Setup deck next to the deck.
• Based on the layout printed on the card, cover 2 slots in the Downtown, Market Row and Dark Alley, and 2
Weekdays in the Theater using the face-down wooden disks of leftover player colors.
This way, there will be different Character slots and Weekdays available each turn, and, since
players can always see the upcoming card, they can plan one turn ahead.

TRICK LINKS
Players may now create Links with the ‘neutral’, gray Trick markers printed on the Performance cards by default.

• The trick’s yield is increased by 1 Coin and

and other bonuses.)
GENERAL RULE CHANGES
1. End game scoring: The maximum Fame that can
be scored from leftover Shards, Coins, Special
Assignment cards, and from each trick with a Fame
Threshold of 36 are individually capped at 20
Fame. That is you can score a maximum of 20
Fame for each card, and a maximum of 20 Fame
each for leftover Shards, Coins, and Special
Assignment cards respectively. This is a basic rule
change, and suggested to be used even when
playing Dark Alley without Academy.
2. Trick Marker limit: When playing with Academy,
the maximum number of Trick Markers a player
can have per Trick is increased to 5.
3. All effects that would affect all of Downtown,
Marketplace and Dark Alley now also affect the
Academy. The rules for Trickerion: Dahlgaard’s
Academy assumes that you are playing with the
Dark Alley rules. Trickerion: Dahlgaard’s Academy
may be combined with Dahlgaard’s Gift expansion
(Magician’s Powers, Duel of Magicians)
 Contraptions

BUILD CONTRAPTION (1~ ~ ): Place one of your

Contraption tokens on the bottommost empty slot on
your Contraption Board with its Active side facing up.
Contraptions can only be built from the bottom up —
you may not “skip” empty Contraption slots.

Contraptions can be built on the four Contraption slots. Each slot has a
benefit printed adjacent to it — to gain that benefit, you have to use a
Contraption on that slot by flipping it from Active side to Inactive.
 Signature Tricks

LEARN SIGNATURE TRICK (3 ) When you take the ‘Learn Trick’ Action at the Downtown, you
may choose to learn your own Signature Trick (set aside during setup) instead of a standard
Trick.
Note that Signature Tricks also have a Fame Threshold — if you don’t have the required
amount of Fame, you have to pay Coins equal to the difference between your current Fame
and the threshold to learn it. Once a Signature Trick has been learned, locate its standard
counterpart (printed on the back of the card, see example):
• If it is in one of the Dahlgaard’s Residence decks, remove it from the deck and return it to the box.
• If it is in another player’s Workshop, do nothing.
• If it is in your Workshop, replace it with the Signature version, and return the original to the box.
Move the Symbol Marker and the Trick Markers (if any) over to the Signature Trick. Note that if the
original Trick had Trick Markers in the Theater, those Markers now represent the Signature version.

PREPARING SIGNATURE TRICKS Signature Tricks are prepared the same way as
their standard counterparts (they even have the same Component requirements),
with one important exception: to prepare a Level 1/2/3 Signature Trick, you also
need to have at least 1, 2 or 3 Contraptions built, respectively.
