Knight

About this board game

Knight is a medieval flip-and-write game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes. Step into the role of a knight and build influence in the royal court while developing your character.

Each turn, six cards determine what happens. You receive a pool of resources, decide which action becomes active, and, in solo play, determine the consequences of the automata’s actions. Your choices can shape a range of scenarios, from warfare and kingdom expansion to the election of new lords, plague, and flood.

The game is played across two rounds. After every three turns, goal-condition cards are dealt, setting rewards and penalties for achievements. These objectives give the unfolding scenario direction while challenging you to develop your position and respond to changing circumstances.

• Build a network of influence in the royal court.
• Develop your character and gain the ability to influence scenario actions.
• Manage resources and determine the active action each turn.
• Play through varied challenges, including battles, expansion, plague, and flood.

Victory depends on the objectives of the chosen scenario, and there are always several possible routes to success. You might need to reach a specific score, occupy the entire map, or win a certain number of battles.

Failure can arrive before all turns are complete if the scenario’s losing conditions are met. An enemy may occupy the entire map, or an undefended castle may be attacked. With its blend of planning, influence, resources, and changing events, Knight puts the fate of a medieval kingdom in your hands.
