KingdomBuilder

Game information

Kingdom Builder is a building game with quick-to-learn rules that challenges players every time with its variable game structure and changing conditions.

2 - 4 players ages 8 and up compete for the most profitable kingdom. Each of them has 40 settlements available, which are placed on the game board as the game progresses. Three out of ten possible Kingdom Builder cards per game specify the conditions under which players receive gold for their settlements. Whoever meets these conditions best gets the most gold and wins the game at the end.

This rule mainly provides the controls for online play. For any other rule questions that arise, the original rule can be used.

There is also a video guide to get you started faster.< /span>

At the top, behind the player name, the gold points (only at the end of the game) and the number of settlements that can still be built are displayed.

In the left area below there is the terrain map for the current round. For the active player it is outlined in green. The possible location tiles are displayed to the right. If a player has already collected some (here, for example, the paddock at the bottom left), this is marked with a hexagonal location tile. As soon as the tile has been used in the active round, it is turned over.

The starting player is marked by the knight behind the terrain card.

Iniziamo a giocare

Each player receives 40 settlements of his player color and a random terrain card (face down). The game board is randomly composed of four of the eight quadrants. Exactly two matching location tiles are placed on each location space. Three of the ten Kingdom Builder cards are randomly selected for play.

Svolgimento

The active player's terrain card is revealed . As a mandatory action, the player must now build exactly three of his settlements on spaces on the game board. The following applies:

Of course, there can only be one settlement on each field.
You may only build on fields that correspond to the terrain map.
Settlements must - if possible - always be built adjacent to existing settlements.
If it is not possible to build adjacently, a new settlement may be started in the corresponding area.
Location spaces, castle spaces, mountain and water spaces (with the exception of the harbor location tile, see below) may not be built on.

< p> Before or after this mandatory action, the active player can still insert his location tiles (see below).

To insert a location tile, simply click on the corresponding field in the Player display.

The action field turns green and you can carry out the action. If you don't want to carry out the action (yet), you can deactivate the location tile again by clicking on the white X.

If you have completed your mandatory action and there are still location tiles left that have not yet been carried out, if you no longer want to use the location tiles, you can end your round by clicking on "Next" and it is the next player's turn .

At the end of your turn you receive a new terrain card face down in your hand for the next round.

Location tile

If a player places one of his settlements directly adjacent to one of the location spaces, he immediately receives one of the corresponding location tiles (if still available). You get a maximum of one location tile per location space. Several settlements on the same location space do not result in multiple tiles!

If a player removes his last settlement that is adjacent to a location space, he must give up the corresponding location tile . It is then removed from the game.

Note:

Location tiles can be used either before the mandatory action or after - but not in between!
A tile you have just received cannot be used until the next turn.
Each tile can only be used once per turn.

< span>Fine del gioco

The game ends as soon as one player has built all 40 settlements. The current round is played to the end, it ends with the player to the right of the starting player.

The castle fields (3 gold each) and the Kingdom Builder cards are then evaluated. Whoever was able to collect the most gold wins. If there is a tie, there are multiple winners.

In order to see the scoring again, you can click on the individual points in the scoring window. The corresponding evaluated fields are then displayed. If you just want to see the entire playing field again, click on an area without a number in the scoring area.
