About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a royal showdown in Claim Anniversary Edition, celebrating five years of the acclaimed card game! The king is gone, and now it's up to you and your opponents to decide who will take the throne. This special edition offers a complete standalone gaming experience, perfect for both existing fans and newcomers to the Claim universe.

In this collector's box, you'll find all the factions from the original Claim and Claim 2 games, but with a completely revamped look by various artists, each with their unique style. And the party doesn't stop there: seven brand-new factions – such as Automatons, Folk Singers, Griffins, and Royals – join the fray, each with surprising powers that promise to turn your strategies upside down. Additionally, four new special scenarios have been added, offering challenges and twists that change the game rules and ensure every match is a fresh and exciting experience.

Claim Anniversary Edition is an intense trick-taking game for 2 to 4 players, where cunning and bluffing are your greatest weapons. Gameplay is divided into two crucial phases: first, you recruit followers to your cause through auctions and bidding, and then, you use your cards to influence the kingdom's destiny and conquer the most powerful factions. With a total of 17 factions, each with unique abilities, replayability is extremely high. It's an invitation to direct duels full of tension and impactful decisions from start to finish. Which faction will you manage to conquer to become the new king?
