About the game
What you do in a play session
The game unfolds over three ages, each with its own Conan adventures. At the beginning of each adventure, players participate in an auction to decide who will have the privilege of controlling Conan for that cycle. Available actions are determined by fate dice, which are rolled to form a common pool. Players, in turn, select a die and perform the corresponding action, which may include moving armies, using multi-use kingdom cards, or influencing events. As Conan's adventures unfold and dice are used, kingdoms grow in power and wealth, conquering neutral provinces and subjugating rivals. At the end of each age, there's a pause to consolidate gains, collect gold, and prepare for the challenges of the next. The detailed miniatures and immersive board help transport players directly into the heart of the Hyborian Age, where strategy and strength define the fate of empires.
