Passion is the first of three Sagrada expansions in “The Great Façade” series, which was published in 2019. The theme is artistic freedom and the different emotions that artists might feel as they discover dynamic new methods and experiences in their creations. Included modules and components are:
Inspiration Module: 6 Inspiration Cards—Each player receives one of these cards, which gives them a unique benefit action. Some of these are used once per game and others only once per round. Two examples: 1) At the beginning of the game, lose 1 Favor Token; going forward, once per round, using a tool card only costs you one favor token. Another is 2) After drafting, place the die on this card if it is empty. At the end of a future round, you may place this die in your window.
Rare Glass Module: 6 Rare Glass Dice, 6 Rare Glass Boards, Rare Glass Private Objectives—The glass dice are “wild”, as they have no color restrictions. Each player will be allowed to use one per game and the conditions under which they are obtained and how they may be placed in player’s windows are controlled by the Rare Glass Boards. Although the color is “wild”, the numerical value placement restrictions apply. The private objectives in this expansion are substituted for the ones included in the core game when using the Rare Glass Module, as most of them directly refer to the glass die being part of a player’s window display.
Symmetry Public Objectives—These cards can be mixed in with other public objectives, but there are a few that should not be used with core game cards that directly contradict base game objectives. For example, when one of the Symmetry Objectives is to create pairs of the same number value mirrored across the center column, but a core game goal is to create rows of different number values.
The modules and card goal additions provided by this expansion are easy to integrate into the core game without significantly adding rule revisions and provide a little extra variety to the game. For 2-4 players with the base game of Sagrada required and a 30–45-minute play time. - Marsha
