About this board game

Greedy Kingdoms is a two-player board game played in about 20 minutes, challenging rival kingdoms to a test of wits. Bluff your way past your opponent, gather resources, and build two royal palaces before they can stop your plans.

Each turn presents opportunities for clever play and counterplay. Deploy your heroes to attack and defend, collect the resources needed to develop your kingdom, and upgrade your position while keeping your opponent guessing.

  • Compete head-to-head in a focused two-player contest.
  • Use bluffing and outthinking to advance your plans.
  • Deploy heroes for attack and defense.
  • Collect resources and upgrade your kingdom.
  • Race to build two royal palaces.

The central challenge is balancing ambition with disruption. You must work toward the coveted royal palaces while watching for the opponent’s attempts to block your progress at each turn. The player who best combines resource collection, kingdom upgrades, and tactical hero deployment can leave the other kingdom in awe of their wealth.

The 2018 edition of Greedy Kingdoms reimplements the original 2009 release by Hayato Kisaragi and One Draw. This version features new cards and rules from Bruno Faidutti, giving the game its own take on the contest between competing kingdoms.

Designed for a quick but thoughtful duel, Greedy Kingdoms brings bluffing, direct competition, and a race for royal palaces together in a compact experience. If you enjoy trying to read an opponent while building toward a clear goal, this 2018 release offers a concise challenge for two.
