Crokinole Imperium

About this expansion

Crokinole Imperium is a crokinole game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes, combining the classic game with new cards, rules, and rich Medieval-Latin lore.

Across three distinct experiences, players must do more than simply outscore their opponents. Each experience introduces a different way to approach the board and rethink your strategy as the game unfolds.

• Sub Rosa: Take on a unique objective card and earn points by completing it while also outscoring your opponents. The name means “Under the Rose,” a Medieval Latin phrase associated with secrecy and confidentiality.
• Free Lances: Use mercenaries, each offering a single-use ability that could tip the round in your favor. Their valuable skills must be used carefully, or they may go to waste.
• Terra Nova: Reveal a new land card each round. Its effect applies to all players, requiring everyone to significantly alter their strategy and learn how to use the terrain to their advantage.

The changing challenges of Crokinole Imperium reward attention, adaptation, and well-timed decisions. Secret goals can shape your priorities, mercenary abilities can influence a crucial round, and the current land can force every player to reconsider their plans.

Whether you pursue a concealed objective, reserve a Free Lance for the perfect moment, or adapt to the latest Terra Nova land card, every experience adds a fresh layer to the familiar crokinole format. Released in 2022, this game offers a Medieval-Latin twist on a classic tabletop favorite.
