Fantasy Realms: The Cursed Hoard
Players build and score a seven-card hand by drawing from the deck or discard pile and discarding one card each turn, aiming to create powerful card combinations. This expansion adds a modular Cursed Items deck: each player takes one item that can be activated for a strong one-time effect (for example taking extra actions, concealing discarded cards, or skipping a discard) but that exact effect becomes negative points during final scoring. An additional module introduces three new suits—Buildings, Outsiders, and Undead—so players can develop new synergies and scoring avenues. The set contains 47 cards and can be mixed into the base game alone or together.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Do Cursed Items count as cards in my hand, and what happens when I use one?
No. Keep them in front of you; when you use one, turn it facedown, then draw a replacement at the end of your turn. You should finish each turn with exactly one faceup Cursed Item (p. 2–3).
If a card says it replaces my turn, can I still take a regular turn afterward?
No. If you take a “Replace Turn” card using Larcenous Gloves and Junkyard Map, you may not take a regular turn (p. 8).
Can I add just one of the new suits, and do they change the hand size or end-game trigger?
No: add Buildings, Outsiders, and Undead together with the Garden, and replace the listed base-game cards with their Cursed Hoard versions. With the new suits, start with eight cards, keep eight in hand, and trigger the end of the game at twelve cards in the discard area (p. 4).
In a two-player game, when do we draw Cursed Items?
Wait until you have seven cards in hand with the base game, or eight if playing with the new suits, before drawing Cursed Items (p. 4).
Can Outsider effects give me more than nine cards, and in what order do end-game draws happen?
You may never have more than nine cards in hand; immediately discard down if you exceed that. At game end, resolve Leprechaun, then Genie, then Necromancer before assigning Doppelganger, Mirage, and Shapeshifter (p. 5, 7).
Do Undead score from cards in my hand, and do discarded wild cards count as other suits?
Four of the five Undead score bonuses from cards faceup in the discard area, not from cards in hand. Wild cards there count only as Wild, not as another suit (p. 7).
