  1. it is a really fun game. Low rules overhead, and most people would be able to just jump right in and play. Easy to teach as well. Lots of modules to explore to keep it from being samey.

  2. 8 out of 10

    I really like this games mechanics. The constant threat of marauders at the end of years begs the question of how lucky do you feel? Was grateful for the gift since the one owner in my group had sold his copy.

  3. 7.3 out of 10

    The real strategy in this game comes down to looking at what dice your opponents rolled and considering what you think they might choose. Sometimes you might opt to place a dice specifically because you want to block an opponent or secure a spot before they do first. The decisions are interesting and resources are tight. You seem to always never quite have enough to build everything you want. After the first play, this leaves a feeling like you want to play it again now that you better understand what is important to go for. There could even be some light bluffing in this game if some people peek at the boss and some don't because they could play it up and try and get the opponent to think the boss is something different than it is. Overall, this is a really neat game although the theme felt a bit thin to me. Maybe this is one that would benefit from using expansions to spice it up?

The realm of Kingsburg is under attack! Monstrous invaders are gathering at the borders, aiming to invade and plunder the realm! Your king has chosen you to take charge of a province on the border; you will manage your province and help defend the realm. To accomplish this, you must influence the King’s advisors and the Royal Family to obtain gold, wood, stones, and soldiers to expand and defend your lands. But you are not the only governor seeking the aid of the advisers! The other players also seek to collect the best resources for their own territories.

King Tritus is waiting for you. Will you be able to be the most influent and powerful governor of the realm?

The game of Kingsburg takes place over five years, a total of 20 turns. In every year, there are three production seasons for collecting resources, building structures, and training troops. Every fourth turn is the winter, in which all the players must fight an invading army. Each player must face the invaders, so this is not a cooperative game.

The resources to build structures and train troops are collected by influencing the advisers in the King’s Council. Players place their influence dice on members of the Council, and each adviser awards different resources or allocate soldiers, victory points, and other advantages to the player who was able to influence that adviser for the current turn. The player with the lowest influence dice sum is the first to choose where to spend their influence; this acts as a way of balancing poor dice rolling. Even with a very unlucky roll, a clever player can still come out from the Council with a good number of resources and/or soldiers.

At the end of five years, the player who best developed their assigned territory and most pleased the King through the Council wins.

Kingsburg (Second Edition) includes six expansion modules for use with the base game.
