Light area control game where players play cards in certain various kingdoms to try to gain majority in each area. Each kingdom has a specific rule to be able to play cards which creates an interesting puzzle on how to best se the cards in your hand. The player who places a token on the last spot gets to leave its piece in that kingdom so there is a bit of mind games to try to get that last space. The illustrations are very colorful and give a really nice look for a family-weight game. MY biggest issue is that there is no player scaling for the kingdoms. We played a 3-player game and we only filled up one kingdom once in a 3-round game. The board definitely could use some tightening up at lower player counts. Otherwise, a nice, light game that will appeal to families.

- Low quality components such as warped score board and thin cards. - High degree of luck. You get a hand of cards and play them to specific locations if able based on the location rules. Any form of strategic play requires that you have the right cards in hand. For instance, you make a certain location very hard to to be played to by opponents when there is a location rule that says "only higher rank than the highest rank neighbour" or something to that effect by playing for instance 8 to its neighbour thereby only allowing cards rank 8 to be played. Only works if no one else has 8s to play but you also lock yourself out unless you have lot of 8s therefore very circumstantial. Another sliver of strategic play involves holding back cards rank 1 or 8 if you know you will tie with another player on area majority thereby forcing tied players into a battle. Players play a single card from their hand to resolve the tie and the highest rank beats all with the exception that 1 beats 8. Overall not a very interesting area majority game that plays too randomly with pretty much everything determined by your hand and location cards that are in play.

Amazing artwork, but poor quality components (e.g., the game boards warped after punching out the pieces) — disappointing. Gameplay is ok, but didn’t really shine at just 2 players (not surprising, since this is basically an area control game). The solo automata wasn’t that great either; it felt too overpowered, and added too much unmitigable randomness than I really wanted in a solo game.
