Nocturnal Creatures adds a new set of creature cards (Banshees) to the game, and a new mechanic for Wisps.
- Wisps
During set up, a Wisp token is placed face down every 5 points on the scoring track, up to space 50 (there are 11 wisp tiles, so one will not be used). Then, all of the tokens are turned over, and the 2-3 "Wisp" tokens are left on their space on the score track. Whenever a player reaches or passes over that space on the track, they may choose from one of the face up Wisp tiles, which gives them an immediate bonus.
- Banshees
The expansion comes with 16 banshee cards, 1 in each color for each of the 4 reward types.
Steal: If possible, all players must give a gem of the corresponding color to the player.
Resurrect: Search the discard pile and take a card of your choice (placing in in your discard pile as normal).
Wisped: Take one of the available Wisp tiles and receive the reward immediately.
Card Switch: Destroy the played Banshee card and take a card from the display directly into your hand. Since the Banshee card is destroyed, the other card is placed in your discard pile regardless of number.
