Pocket Master Builder (2022)

About this game

As kingdom architects, players will need to collect raw materials to construct various buildings, build walls to resist the invasion of northern barbarians, and use the king's reward properly to speed up your progress. Try to be the player with the most honors (VP) at the game's end. Players play a card to the kingdom area, place workers on the edge of the card to collect resources, and then may use resources to construct a building. The game end is triggered when a player has built 6 buildings. Each player totals their honors (VP) from their Buildings, Walls, Donkey and Oracle Cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
