The Last Kingdom: Board Game - 2-5 Player Strategy Game with Miniatures

The game promises an immersive experience where players can choose to skip the rulebook and learn through an interactive Dized Tutorial upon arrival. Brace yourself for an epic journey through the war-torn kingdoms of Britain.

In this game, you will take on the role of one of the great commanders and politicians in the land known today as England. The Saxon and Dane armies are engaged in an open battle for dominance, and it is up to you to tip the scales of power. Will you remain loyal to your allies, or will you betray them in pursuit of power? What part will you play in the birth of a new nation, and will you ultimately rule it all?

The game unfolds over the course of 2 rounds, during which players will perform actions to command armies and shape the course of the war. Your allegiance to the Saxons or the Danes can be firm or fickle, and your score will reflect not just your prowess in battle, but your political skill in maneuvering the competing forces of Britain. Each of the 10 leaders will offer unique benefits to your strategy and provide special cards to start your hand.

At the start of each round, players will complete their hand by drafting cards from a deck specific to that round. Then, the war begins in one of the five regions. Players will take turns playing cards to command Saxon or Dane armies, gaining affinity with the different factions, or positioning their heroes and leaders to shift the tides of war. Players will also have access to a rotating market of actions that are available to everyone. Alternatively, players may choose to not act on their turn and instead pass to see what moves their opponents make.

Once all players have passed consecutively, the war in the current region will be decided by the strengths of the Saxon and Dane armies that are battling there. Players will gain victory points if they are aligned with the winning faction and based on their level of affinity. The focus of the war will then move to the next region, and the battle continues.

After the fate of all five regions have been decided, the round ends. After two rounds of play, the winner is determined by which player has accrued the most victory points.

The game includes 18 highly detailed miniatures that bring your favorite characters from the hit Netflix series to life. Betrayal is your strongest asset as you navigate the conflicts and ensure you are aligned with the winning faction. Authored by the award-winning designer John D Clair, known for Mystic Vale and other great titles, The Last Kingdom Board Game promises a modern design and an immersive experience that will leave you craving more.
