Meikyu Kingdom Card Game: Make You Conquest (2005)

About this game

In the Meikyu Kingdom Card Game, each player tries to conquer dungeon cards using heroes and items selected from their hands. Each turn, a player draws a card and then performs one of the following actions: (1) Conquer a dungeon card, (2) develop a conquered card, (3) attack a dungeon card owned by another player, (4) draw an extra card. Conquering a dungeon card involves matching the value of the card with the "Bravery" values of adventure cards played from your hand or playing a lower value to which the value of one die roll is added. Each dungeon card shows a star-value, and by developing a dungeon card you can double this value. The player who is first to collect a 10 star value in dungeon cards wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
