How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Enclosure

You're surrounding and claiming territory on the board — fence off your space before someone else does!

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Network and Route Building

You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.

About This Game

Supersize your Kingdom Builder experience with the Empire Edition. This super-sized product includes custom shaped plastic houses with a different design for each player color, as well as 3D castles. In order to accommodate the larger houses, all of the player boards are 25% larger as well.…
