A small group of Devotees have glimpsed what was once hidden; a colossal glass cephalopod they call Prismoctopus, cloaked in the endless dark of space, bending and scattering light to remain unseen. These Devotees are straying from tradition, treading the Path of Glass in pursuit of heretical knowledge, chasing patterns in fractured light and strange numbers once dismissed as meaningless. Meet Prismoctopus, a new celestial cephalopod, and harness a shimmering new resource: glass! Gather this cosmic material from rarely visited Inky Realm tiles and use it to influence Prismoctopus - what mysterious rewards will you earn in return? Discover all-new devotee cards, including mind-bending riddle Hallucinations, cyclical Constellations, and powerful Relics unlocking access to hidden Inky Realm tiles. Begin with Starting Trinkets that jump-start your resource engine and seek out Loose Pages offering single-discount boosts to your Scriptures. Deploy Telescope tiles to complete Constellations and shape the card row; build a telescope-charging engine to reuse them repeatedly. Show what you have learned by claiming Prismatic Knowledge - can you gather 21 resources to claim a triad of tentacles? Earn Titles in return for dedication to studying Scripture of a single type. Experience a brand-new solo mode with scalable difficulty: aid a physicist ally in constructing her telescope before the Dean uncovers her activities! -description from the publisher
