Kings & Creatures

About this board game

Kings & Creatures is a set-collection game for 2–6 players, with play time of around 30 minutes. Released in 2021, it challenges players to gather heroic cards and create valuable collections.

Every player can help themselves to a selection of great cards, but the most rewarding choices are not always the most obvious ones. The game centers on a compelling tension between taking what you want now and choosing what others may need.

Access to the most grandiose cards is reserved for players who choose modest cards. That makes restraint an important part of the game, as a seemingly humble choice can open the way to a truly fabulous hero.

• Set collection: Build valuable collections from a heroic selection of cards.
• Shared card choices: Take what you want while considering what other players need.
• Timing and restraint: Balance courageous taking with clever waiting.

However, waiting too carefully can be just as risky. Players who focus only on preserving their future chances may discover that the true heroes have already gone elsewhere.

That balance gives Kings & Creatures its distinctive character. Bold decisions can secure the cards you need, while modest choices and clever timing may provide access to more impressive rewards. The game invites players to judge when to act, when to hold back, and how their choices affect everyone around the table.
