About the game
What you do in a play session
In the 17th century, tribes of Taiwan's central‑west region formed the Kingdom of Middag, a modest realm that valued peace, trade, and reverence for ancestors. In Kingdom of Middag, each player leads their own tribe, striving for bountiful harvests and glory. The core mechanic is worker placement: you send tribe members to four distinct spots – Hunting Field, Tool Hut, Trade Hut, and Worship Hut – each providing different resources, hunting skill upgrades, or chances to turn prey into victory points.
The Hunting Field reshuffles each round, creating a dynamic board that forces players to pick the optimal moment to act, lest the best resources be snatched by opponents. The Tool Hut lets you boost your hunting efficiency, the Trade Hut converts prey into points, and the Worship Hut grants spiritual bonuses that can swing the game at crucial moments.
A game runs 45‑60 minutes, supports 2‑4 players, and carries a light weight (2.33/5), making it perfect for those who want strategic depth without overwhelming complexity. The ultimate goal is to earn more victory points than rivals, securing the title of new king of Middag. The game blends resource management, turn planning, and a dash of historical flavor, all presented with colorful, easy‑to‑learn components. If you enjoy economic games where every choice matters, Kingdom of Middag delivers a smooth, competitive experience that rewards perfect timing and reading the ever‑changing hunting field.
