Cards & Components
Components and face types for the base game and The Counterfeiters.
The base component list and rules are from the official English rulebook. The expansion uses the publisher’s 2026 Counterfeiters rules. Available public images do not provide a verified scan of every card face, so the unverified faces are listed as gaps rather than described from a different edition.
Boards
| Picture | What it is |
|---|---|
| No verified image | Token board: its 25 spaces are filled from the center outward in the printed spiral. Tokens leave gaps as players collect them; refill only from the bag. (Turn and Actions) |
| No verified image | Victory tile: reminder for the three base-game win conditions. In the expansion, check any alternate conditions shown on a Royal you own. (Game End and Scoring) |
Cards
Jewel cards
There are 67 cards across three levels. Every distinct face is not available in a readable, verified public scan; the values on those faces are not transcribed here. The official rulebook illustrates the card layout: prestige, bonus color, optional ability, crowns, and cost. (Turn and Actions)
| Picture | What it is |
|---|---|
 | Jewel card example: the printed cost is reduced by your matching permanent bonuses; pay any remaining cost with tokens. This single example does not represent every face. (Turn and Actions, FAQ) |
Royal cards
The base game has four different Royal faces. The rulebook shows example abilities, but not a complete face gallery; individual face values remain unverified here. (Game End and Scoring)
| Picture | What it is |
|---|---|
 | Royal card examples: claim a Royal at your third and sixth crown, then resolve its ability immediately. (Game End and Scoring, FAQ) |
Counterfeiter cards
The 2026 expansion contains 17 distinct faces. Its rulebook describes the ability set and costs but does not show a complete face gallery. Do not infer individual cost symbols or ability assignments from the summary text. (The Counterfeiters)
No verified complete public face scans found; all 17 faces remain a gap.
Expansion Royal cards
The expansion adds eight distinct Royal faces. The rules summarize their abilities and revised victory thresholds without a full front gallery. (The Counterfeiters)
Tiles
The Victory tile’s faces remain available only as printed reminders described under Boards.
Tokens & pieces
| Picture | What it is |
|---|---|
| No verified image | Gem tokens: four each in five colors; collect them from an uninterrupted line or with Privileges and spend them toward Jewel costs. |
| No verified image | Pearls: two tokens; pay pearl costs, with no matching bonus discounts. Taking both in one action grants your opponent a Privilege. |
| No verified image | Gold: three wild tokens; gain one only by reserving a card. It can pay any gem or pearl cost and counts toward the ten-token limit. |
| No verified image | Privilege scrolls: return one to take one non-gold token from the board. |
| No verified image | Bag: holds tokens not on the board or with players; only its contents are used when refilling. |
| No verified image | Glassware ([Counterfeiters]): four purple tokens added to the bag; pay them as a separate cost type and count them toward the token limit unless a card waives that limit. (The Counterfeiters) |
Icons
The rulebook’s icons indicate bonus color, ability, prestige, crowns, and token cost. Each ability is explained in Turn and Actions. Expansion ability-specific printed values require a clear card scan and are not guessed here.
