Description
In Trickerion the players take on the roles of rival stage illusionists, each with their own strengths and characteristics. They are striving for fortune and fame in a competition hosted by a legendary magician, looking for a successor worthy of the mighty Trickerion Stone, which is fabled to grant supernatural power to its owner.
Dahlgaard's Gifts, an addon pack for the game, contains the following:
Magician Powers
Your Trickerion Shards gain a whole new gameplay significance with the Magician Powers variant: they will unlock Power Card slots that allow you to customize your Magician by learning diverse abilities to enhance your game. As there are 90 different Power cards available, it will open up a multitude of new strategies and adds even more replayability to the game.
Duel of the Magicians
A rule variant designed specifically for 2-player games. The Duel of the Magicians adds various turn setup cards that change the available spots turn by turn, making the 2-player game more tense and diverse. It also comes with special Performance cards with neutral Trick Markers on them, making Linking easier in two-player games.
Additional game content
On top of the two major game modules, Dahlgaard's Gifts also comes with:
- 25 additional Trickerion Shards and a large acrylic Trickerion Stone turn marker
- 8 additional Special Assignment cards (2 for each Location)
- 4 Magician Meeples to replace the wooden cylinders on the Initiative Order track

Quotes (from this video)
- Ladies and gentlemen: it is i! The Astounding...ly Adequate Ryan!
- Trickerion: Dahlgaard's Gifts, which isn't quite an expansion to Trickerion: Legends of Illusion. It's labelled "Add-on Pack."
- There's a lot going on in the game.
- If you didn't, this product is available separately at retail.
- So let me take a look at what's in the box, and let me teach you how to play.
- You get these little wooden magician tokens, which are absolutely great, and a big improvement to the boring cylinders that come with the base game, BUT, you only get one per player.
- These slots are for the new Magician Powers.
- The cards are text-heavy and complicated, and they require a good working knowledge of how the game goes.
- For this reason, i don't recommend busting out this add-on with players who are brand new to the game...
- These cards are for advanced play only...
- So what do the powers do? Well, they're generally nuts.
- Oh my God - THERE'S my other glove.
- Duel of Magicians, which is a set of cards that make 2-player Trickerion a little more interesting.
- Every round, the blocked-off spaces move, keeping you and your opponent on your toes.
