Koninkrijk (2016)

About this game

Choose your opponents wisely and battle with them to win the cards that can make your kingdom complete. To build your kingdom you’ll need a people, an army and a court, these are groups of cards that you must collect in the colours of the same flag. Each group you add has a bonus value that strengthens your attack. Players do battle by bidding cards, the victor wins a new card and the bidded cards are exchanged. Try to keep the cards you might need and deny your opponents the cards they want. This game is for 3 to 5 players and can last for an hour. It's easy to learn but hard to master. A challenging power struggle for sagacious thinkers. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
