    Squire for Hire is a great 1-2 player 18-card game where you’ll aim to get hired by having the best loot in your bag at the end of the game. In the game, you’ll go through story cards, using items in your bag to get more items, as you lay the cards over one another. When you get lay a card, you’ll have to fit one of the items on your new card onto the cards you already have so you’re constantly deciding on what you think you’ll need and how to position them in your bag. You’ll also score bonus points if some items are adjacent to others in your bag so that’ll add even more considerations to your turn. If you’re looking for a quick micro-game with a fantasy theme, Squire for Hire is just for you! While not the most amazing or mind blowing game, this game provides you will a chill time and a little competition when you take the card that is “just right” for your opponent! Definitely do check this game out! cited from https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5e1UEpGR1/

    Excellent idea for a fast, simple and puzzling game. Microgames need to be taken for what they are, and this is a fun and interesting option. I am sorry I did not go for this on KS. UPDATE: Fortunately Jokin did join KS, and I received a copy as a gift :) The solo mode works really well. It seems not to be difficult to beat 25 points, maybe 30 is more of a challenge.

    Great game. The rules are a little hard to understand but the forums on BBG explained it enough that I quickly got the idea and played a solo game.

Your day has finally come — a famous adventurer has hired YOU to be their squire! When your hero completes quests, defeats baddies, and takes all the credit, they also earn loot, which you get the great honor of carrying!

Squire for Hire is an 18-card, tile-laying inventory management game for 1-2 players that takes about 15-20 min to play. Players compete to get the highest scoring bag of items for their hero by the end of the story deck.

Each player takes on the role of a random squire card, taking turns completing story cards and adding loot to their bag for points. You can complete story cards one of two ways: 1) having enough item value (the combined number of spaces an item type takes up in your bag) or 2) using an item (covering up an item in your bag with a new loot card). If you can complete a story card, you get to pick one of two loot cards to add to your bag; to do so, at least one full item must be placed within empty or full squares. You can cover any number of other items in your bag as long as the entire item is covered.

Once all story cards have been exhausted, players add up their scores. Add 1 point for each regular item, 1 point for each pair of identical items side-by-side, and extra points for conditions met on your squire card. Visible junk items reduce your score by 1 point each, so cover them up whenever possible!

Keep vital items in your bag for when you need them, pack efficiently for extra points, and eliminate junk to be the squire with the highest scoring bag! Play solo to beat your own high score with all of the cards.
