Inheritors (2022)

About this game

In the dark of the night, whispers spread throughout the court: "The King is dead!" Inheritors is a 2-4 player open drafting, hand management card game. As one of the King's Inheritors, you will seek influence among five clans, spy on your competitors, and tip the courts in your favor to win your rightful place on the throne. Build Influence in the 5 Realms. Gain the support of Clan leaders - each with unique abilities. Use Advocates to outthink your opponents. Race to claim Honors. Journey on Quests to prove yourself to the Realms. Inheritors provides a big game experience in a small box you can take with you anywhere. Let the games begin!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
