Wonderland's War: Shards of Madness
This expansion introduces corrupted Shards as a central resource and new ways to interact with them during the War phase. Players gain, give, and discard Shards through new Wonderlandian cards that trade risk for potent effects and can trigger the contest for the extra Madness chip earlier in the round. It adds two quest types: Leader quests that can be completed in any region where a Leader is present, and Double Feat quests that feature two objectives to encourage action across multiple regions. A new double-sided starting battle card marks the initial conflict and awards a significant bonus to that battle's winner, influencing where players deploy supporters and which fights they contest.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
Who gets the Starting Battle Reward, and what happens if the battle is tied or everyone busts?
At the end of the battle in the marked Region, the winner gains the face-up reward. Tied players get no reward, and if everyone busts, there is no winner and no reward. (p. 1)
When does the Starting Battle Reward move, and who chooses its next side?
At the end of the War phase, move it to the Region receiving the Starting Battle marker. The player with the fewest VP chooses which side is face-up for the next War phase. (p. 1)
Can I use the Corrupted Forge to Forge an exhausted chip?
Yes. When you Forge a chip, you may gain 1 Shard to Forge an exhausted chip instead of an active one; this applies both to Forge chips and Forge spaces on the Battle track. (p. 2)
Do Leader Feats count as being in a Region for my other Quest objectives?
You can complete a Leader Feat in any Region where your leader is present at the end of Battle. However, a Leader Feat is not considered to have a Region for other Quest objectives. (p. 2)
How do Double-Feat Quests work, and how many VP are they worth?
They have two Feats and no Objectives, and you may complete the Feats in either order. Each completed Feat is worth 3 VP at game end, with an additional 3 VP bonus if you complete both. (p. 2)
Do I have to take my Wonderlandian and starting resources from the same Tea and Crumpet card?
No. Choose a Wonderlandian from one card and starting resources or penalties from a different card; reveal your choices in turn order and adjust your starting setup. (p. 2)
