About the game

What you do in a play session

In Forges of Ravenshire, you're an ambitious blacksmith competing to become the guild's new Forgemaster. Over four seasons, you'll gather resources, recruit guild members, and fulfill contracts to earn money and prestige. Each round starts with a gathering phase, where you roll your dice workers and place them on strategic locations to obtain resources. Then, in the production phase, you use those same dice to forge items and complete contracts. Watch out for the guilds you activate when retrieving your workers—they might give you unexpected advantages! At the end of each season, special titles are awarded to the most successful, bringing even more glory (and cash) to your forge. Get ready for a tight competition where every decision counts and the roll of the dice can turn the tide!
