The King of Frontier (2013)

About this game

You are a pioneer. You must build your settlement up into an epic Kingdom. Choose your land and structures carefully to optimize how many resources you produce. On a player's turn you choose an action: Develop, Produce, Build, and Consume, and perform that action on your turn. Victory Points are gained at the end of the game for your size of your settlement, the buildings, and the resources you produce. The game ends when either the tile stack runs out OR there are no more VP tokens OR someone has filled all the spaces on their board. The player with the most Victory Points is the winner!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
