Kingsburg: To Forge a Realm

About this expansion

Kingsburg: To Forge a Realm is an expansion for 2–5 players, adding five modular ways to customize a game of Kingsburg. With an approximate play time of 90 minutes, it lets players combine new options for a different challenge each time.

The expansion includes two extra rows of buildings and seven alternative rows. During setup, each player receives two alternative rows, with each replacing one of the seven standard rows, so every player manages a slightly different board.

• Extra and alternative buildings: Expand or vary the building options available to players.
• Characters: More than twenty characters each provide a special ability. Every player receives one and keeps its power for the entire game.
• Events: More than twenty events are shuffled, with one revealed at the start of each year. Its effect applies to all players and may be helpful, neutral, or detrimental.
• Deterministic winter reinforcements: Replace the die with six numbered tokens—0, 1, 1, 2, 3, and 4—to determine extra soldiers from the King.

For the alternative winter system, each player receives the six tokens during setup. At the beginning of each Winter, a player uses and discards one token, gaining the number of extra soldiers shown on it from the King.

Use one module or combine several to shape the experience to your liking. Whether you want varied building layouts, a persistent character power, shared yearly effects, or a more predictable winter system, Kingsburg: To Forge a Realm offers flexible additions to the base game.
