Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Resource Management — The 'blending' icon (paint brush) copies the effect of the color it's blending into, requiring strategic placement and color choices.
- scoring cards — More scoring cards are added with the expansion.
- Set Collection — Frames have requirements of a certain element (squares, color wheel, triangles, moons/suns) to slot artwork into them.
- wilds — Stars count as wilds for scoring objectives, allowing flexibility in meeting requirements.

Quotes (from this video)
- They went for art or substance or style over substance because these boxes obviously do not hold all the material.
- I really think both expansions are fantastic.
- This could have easily you could have easily done it and you could have had two tabs that you pick up and you slide the whole thing out and it's all organized and a nice insert.
