About this board game

The Adventures of Conan is an asymmetrical, semi-cooperative dice game for 2–4 players, with games lasting approximately 120 minutes. Set in the Hyborian age, it sends players across kingdoms in search of adventure, power, and victory.

Players take on the roles of the heroic barbarian Conan, one of his powerful allies, or a scheming Foe. Conan and his allies must work together, but each player also prioritizes personal goals while pursuing their own path to victory.

A pool of custom dice drives the action. Use them to control Conan, his allies, and the Foe as they travel through the world, seek combat and training, and carry out adventures and encounters that can unlock bountiful rewards.

  • Asymmetrical roles: Play as Conan, a powerful ally, or the plotting Foe.
  • Semi-cooperative play: Heroes cooperate while still pursuing individual goals.
  • Custom dice: Use your dice pool to shape actions and seek power.
  • Adventure and danger: Explore kingdoms, face combat, and contend with traps set by the Foe.

The Foe plots the adventurers’ downfall during their travels, setting traps as the heroes seek glory. Meanwhile, players can pray to the gods for power, explore the world, and advance their ambitions through adventure and encounter.

In The Adventures of Conan, victory goes to the player with the most Victory points at the end of the game. The ending is triggered when a player reaches the required number of Victory points, advances all three Player markers to King Conan on the Achievement track, or reaches the last space of the Plot track.
