King’s Forge: Masterworks

About this expansion

King’s Forge: Masterworks is a board game for 2–5 players with a playing time of about 60 minutes, inviting crafters to work with exotic materials and produce true masterworks.

The griffins have returned, bringing distinguished visitors, fresh ideas, new skills, and unusual resources to the kingdom. Players can acquire samples of these materials by hosting visitors or impressing ambassadors who now reside at the palace.

Four new types of dice add distinctive possibilities to crafting. Each is connected to a different source of exotic materials, represented by a new tile above the board:

• Borealis can mimic the die type of any dice rolled with it.
• Aether Ore can be used as either a metal or magic die.
• Heartwood grows like a plant each round and can be harvested as a wood or gem die.
• Grimstones are chaotic dice with variable bonuses depending on how they are rolled.

These sources come from the Crystal Tundra in the North, One Tree in the South, the Hidden City in the East, and the Great Cauldron in the West. Players can also craft thematic items and monuments from each realm.

Sixteen new, more powerful gather cards represent noteworthy visitors from around the world. Their reduced costs offer additional ways to obtain resources while pursuing impressive creations.

In King’s Forge: Masterworks, producing true masterworks can make the kingdom proud and send a crafter abroad to represent it and see the world. With griffins returning and adventure calling, the kingdom’s workshop has never had more extraordinary materials to shape.
