The Fall of Kingdoms - Founders Edition

The rulers of each kingdom strive to outwit the others so that their kingdom will be the last to remain.

In an ancient fantasy world, you are the ruler of one of seven unique kingdoms. Following the assassination of the High Council that once united the kingdoms, trust has disappeared. Rival rulers now vie for dominance, striving to be the one who will rule them all.

Each player starts the game with three Character cards (two known, one unknown), two Destiny cards, two coins, and a Kingdom board with a Defense of 3 and a Morale of 2.

The game ends for a player when their kingdom's defense reaches zero or when all of their Character cards are eliminated. To navigate this complex landscape of power and deception, players have a variety of strategies and tools at their disposal:

• Character Cards: Players use these to sabotage, spy, manipulate, assassinate, attack, and fortify themselves against their rivals, leveraging each character's unique abilities to gain the upper hand.
• Fate Cards: These cards introduce over 30 unpredictable events that can radically change the course of the game, offering surprises that can be used to a player's advantage.
• Diplomacy: A key aspect of the game where players negotiate to join forces, make threats, and manipulate other leaders, navigating a complex web of alliances and betrayals.
• Bluffing: Players can bluff about their Character and Destiny cards, using the element of surprise to outwit their opponents and gain a tactical advantage.
• Accusation: A strategic maneuver that allows players to eliminate an opponent's Character card by correctly guessing which character they are using.
• Kingdom Attack: This action allows a player to directly attack other kingdoms, with the goal of reducing their defense and bringing them closer to destruction.
• Morale: Represents the economic health and spirit of a kingdom, influencing its cash flow and ability to carry out certain actions.

The game is perfectly suited for 2 to 7 players and is designed for fast-paced, exciting games lasting 20 to 40 minutes. Each player has a maximum of one minute during their turn, ensuring that The Fall of Kingdoms remains fast-paced and exciting throughout the game. This blend of strategic depth, the unpredictability of Destiny cards, and dynamic player interactions through diplomacy and deception creates a richly immersive experience that is both challenging and rewarding.

Includes all stretch goals unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign, as well as the exclusive Doomsday Destiny expansion.
