Claim Kingdoms: Das grosse Duell um den Thron!

About this board game

Claim Kingdoms is a tile-laying game for exactly two players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Set in the Claim universe, it challenges each player to expand a small region and gain influence over the kingdom’s factions.

Choose seven of the ten available factions, then prepare your figurines, player aid, cards, draw deck, display, and scoreboard. Each player begins with two cards in hand, while one card is placed face up in the playing area and three more are revealed beside the draw deck.

On your turn, follow three steps in order:

1. Place a card in the playing area and put one of your figurines on it.
2. Use the special power of the card, if you wish.
3. Take a new card.

The available inhabitants include brave knights, friendly gnomes, mighty dragons, and many others. Their cards help shape the regions you are building, while the figurines show which player is establishing influence over each faction.

The game ends after a complete turn when a player has no figurines left in their supply, or when the draw deck and display are empty and neither player has cards in hand. Scoring then focuses on faction control, rather than individual cards.

For each faction, the player with more figurines of their color on that faction’s cards controls it and scores the points shown on the left side of the card. The player with the most points wins Claim Kingdoms. If the score is tied, the player with more figurines remaining in their supply wins; if that is also tied, both players share the victory.
