Shadow Puppets Bolster Expansion for Doomlings — 40 New Cards & Four Haunting New Species

Overview

Shadow Puppets is the very first Bolster Expansion for Doomlings, introducing 40 new cards and four haunting new species: Deeplings, Glitterlings, Moonlings, and Fuzelings. This expansion invites you to explore deeper endgame strategies, with fresh visuals, new mechanics, and the thrill of discovering clever synergies across the board.

What’s Inside

• Deeplings Expansion (12 new cards): from behind the velvet curtain, the Deeplings emerge. They use the Suppress mechanic to conceal cards—and motives—creating quiet moments that can change the tempo of a game.
• Glitterlings Expansion (12 new cards): forgotten toys with fractured smiles and glitter in their gears. They lean into randomness, inviting tense, high-stakes draws that can tilt outcomes in surprising ways.
• Moonlings Expansion (12 new cards): moonlit tricksters who block and hand-lock opponents. Lower your Gene Pool to unlock their powers, but what they offer often comes at a price.
• Fuzelings Expansion (4 new cards): a fusion of the Deeplings, Glitterlings, and Moonlings, designed to amplify Drop of Life bonuses and trigger exciting new combos.
• Mystery Holofoil Collectible Card: one unique holofoil card from the Shadow Puppets Collection to add a collectible sparkle to your deck.

How Shadow Puppets Changes Gameplay

The new species bring distinct moods and tactical options, giving you more routes to explore during the game. Deeplings encourage stealth and misdirection, Glitterlings heighten risk-versus-reward decisions, Moonlings reward careful timing and disruption, and Fuzelings open cross-mechanic synergies that can amplify effects from life-related events.

Play Scenarios and Use Cases

• Endgame surprise: a well-timed Suppress play can shift late-game momentum without revealing too much too soon.
• Strategic pacing: manage draw choices with Glitterlings to balance risk and reward.
• Hand management: use Moonlings to slow rivals while you set up your own plans.
• Combo potential: combine Fuzelings with Drop of Life effects for fresh interaction pathways.
