Universe
In Kingdom Builder: Family & Friends Compact Edition, players aim to build the most prosperous kingdom by strategically placing settlements across a modular game board. The game features simple rules, variable setups, and strategic depth, ensuring a unique experience in every session. Players compete to fulfill specific conditions to earn gold, with the player accumulating the most gold declared the winner. The compact design of this edition makes it easy to transport and set up, allowing for quick and engaging gameplay sessions.
Gameplay
By building next to a castle, the player will earn gold at the end of the game, but the most gold will be earned by meeting the conditions of the three Kingdom Builder cards; these three cards (from a total of ten in the game) specify the conditions that must be met in order to earn the much-desired gold, such as earning gold for your settlements built next to water hexes or having the majority of settlements in a sector of the board.
Each game, players will use a random set of Kingdom Builder cards (3 of 10), special actions (4 of 8), and terrain sectors to build the map (4 of 8), ensuring you won't play the same game twice!
