From Starling Games:

Previous King’s Forge expansions have featured new dice (Glassworks and Gold), items with abilities (Queen’s Jubilee), and adding a new row of options to gathering (Apprentices). Masterworks borrows from all these precedents without adding unnecessary complexity.

We have added four new dice types, but their functions are very simple:

It’s all about supporting a flexible dice pool.

During crafting, if you roll well enough to make an item—you’ll be one step closer to winning. Roll poorly, though, and those dice and your turn could feel wasted. With Masterworks, you can spend unused metal dice to bid on the exotic dice. In this way, you “craft” the new dice. 

You start each round on the bottom half of the board in the Gather phase. Here you spend dice to get more or better dice and crafting bonuses. The new row below the board gives you more powerful (i.e. cheaper) options. But you only get one choice from this row per round—make it count!

Masterworks is all about easy-to-see options on the table. The set-up doesn’t even change based on the player count, it’s always the same two extra rows above and below the main board organized from West to East.
