Harmonies, the gorgeous landscape-building game that became one of 2024's most-played family titles, is finally getting more to chew on. Libellud has confirmed Harmonies: Pulse, a mini-expansion, as part of its Gen Con 2026 line-up, aimed squarely at players who have worn the base game's animal cards down to the nub.

It was designed by Johan Benvenuto with artwork by Maëva Da Silva, and Libellud released it in April 2024. The light rules and the genuinely lovely table presence made it a gateway favourite in plenty of UK groups.
Pulse is a booster of 10 new animal cards, illustrated once again by Da Silva, who is credited as the expansion's designer. The fresh cards introduce three-colour patterns for the first time and let you mirror them, nudging you to think harder about how you lay out your little 3D landscape without piling on extra rules. It slots straight into the base game, so there is no relearning to do.

Harmonies: Pulse is coming later in 2026. If your copy has been gathering dust, it is a fine reason to get it back on the table.
