Shadows can be played from your deck. Playing a card from the deck works just like playing one from your hand.
Omens provide a way to tick down time until the Prophecy. Omen cards remove Sun Tokens from the Prophecy. When there are no more Sun tokens, the Prophecy takes effect.
If any Kingdom cards have the Omen type, one Prophecy is included in the game. Prophecies are rules that can eventually apply to the game.
Flavor
We journey now to the islands to the east – or west, depending on where you are relative to them. Here your title is Emperor. They tell you you’re just a figurehead, though you can still order whatever breakfast you want. They may be right; you did get that breakfast. Your ceremonial sword and armor are made of paper. The samurai never let you into their tea parties, and the ninjas are always tying your shoelaces together. And the epic poem they wrote about you is only 17 syllables long. Rice has been adopted as currency, and no-one seems to even be trying to get your face onto the grains. But when you wake up each morning and look out over the land, life doesn’t seem so bad. Now, what’s for breakfast?
