About the game
What you do in a play session
In *Clockwork Kingdom*, you play as an ambitious noble vying for the throne of a steampunk kingdom after the king's death. Commanding steam-powered automatons and recruiting specialists like alchemists and artificers, you'll gather resources, build contraptions, and wage strategic battles to control territories. The game blends worker placement, set collection, and area control into a decision-rich experience. Can you balance production, recruitment, and warfare to become the new ruler? Get ready for a brainy clash where every move matters – and one misstep could cost you the crown.
