About the game
In Kingdom Builder: Big Box, you’re a kingdom builder, placing settlements on varied terrains to dominate the map and earn gold. The modular board ensures every game is unique, with terrains like forests, deserts, and rivers. Each turn, you play a terrain card and place three settlements on hexes of that type — but you must connect your settlements, so plan carefully! Building near castles or special locations can give you advantages, like extra actions or gold at the end of the game. The real challenge lies in the objective cards, which change every game and define how you’ll score. Will you be the master of majorities or the king of routes? The Big Box includes the base game and the Nomads and Crossroads expansions, plus the Queenies Capitol and Caves, adding even more variety.
