Game Lore
A millennium ago, the four kingdoms coexisted peacefully, convening every 50 years to negotiate trade agreements. This harmony was shattered when the young elven prince, Kai, stumbled upon a dark artifact, inadvertently releasing a malevolent force that cursed the kingdoms. The resulting catastrophe claimed the lives of all rulers except Astarot, the unborn dragon prince, who was later consumed by hatred for Kai, instilled by his uncle. In the present day, Kai ascends to the throne of the elvish empire and orchestrates a series of manipulations across the neighboring realms. As the newly crowned rulers—Galadra of the dwarves and Lenny of the goblins—grapple with their own crises, Kai declares war, reigniting the ancient conflict. The kingdoms, now led by these new rulers, are once again locked in a struggle for dominance.

Game Rules
-
Assign one person to be the resource “banker” for everyone. Gold is placed in two piles for players convenience to collect as needed.
-
Each kingdom rolls a dice and the highest roll goes first and it continues clockwise.
-
Each kingdom begins its journey with only one property (The large pink building)
-
Each kingdom can build its property anywhere on the grid and has to hide it behind their blind from other kingdoms
-
Each kingdom on their turn, can move by rolling the dice to travel to places where they can gather resources for their kingdom
-
Once a kingdom lands on an resource spot they have to roll an 8 die to determine the number of resources they collect
-
Once a kingdom collects the amount of resources needed to build a new property they put the resources back in the resource box and can now build a new building anywhere on the grid
-
Kingdoms collect 1 gold coin for each building they have at the start of their turn
-
Each building has its own look and cost more or less resources depending on which one you purchase
-
Kingdoms can also purchase ATK & DEF cards to attack other kingdoms and defend from other kingdoms' attacks.
-
Kingdoms must also attack any kingdom of their choice before ending their turn. Players name a coordinate on the grid in an attempt to hit an enemy's building. (Ex: E3) If a property is hit, the player marks that coordinate on their physical property block with the dry erase marker. If all spots of a property is hit, the block is removed as well as a castle puzzle piece from the front of there blind. (The # of puzzle pieces corresponds to the # of built properties)
-
Once a property has been destroyed kingdoms can repair it by paying a certain amount of diamonds( but while destroyed kingdom can not collect 1 coin from that building)
-
Each kingdom can't have more than 3 cards(including ATK & DEF). If a kingdom has more than 3 cards and wishes to get rid of one to get a new card they can.
-
Each kingdom has a spy (the single white cube) that they can only use once on the kingdom of their choice after that it becomes inactive. Once the spy has been used they will tell you if there is a building next to it (player asks the same way as if targeting a property, Ex:E3 announcing they’re using their spy), based on where you sent it in the grid ( the spy has a radius of 1 by 1) (limit 1) if the building is within radius of the spy that kingdoms player has to announce that it's near it. Afterwards the player places the spy in front of their blind so the others know they've used it.
-
On the blind, each kingdom can use it to write down information from ATKs made by other kingdoms to ATKs made by you. (in this game information is important to slow down other kingdoms' growth)
-
When a kingdom building is built, the blind get a puzzle added to it but if a kingdom loses a property they also lose a puzzle piece from their blind
-
The game continues until one kingdom completely builds their empire.
