About the game
Kinghill blends worker‑placement strategy with the tension of a deck‑building duel, crafting a unique fantasy experience. Two rival kingdoms battle for the Moonstones, and you, the general, must build armies, recruit legendary heroes, and use cards to command attacks. At the start, you train workers, gather resources, and choose cards from an open draft while watching automatic resource growth feed your options. Each turn is decided by who claims the action, and card‑play conflict resolution determines who wins battles and claims territories. Over nine turns, the game unfolds as a short but deep campaign, where strategies range from early aggression to solid defense. The game offers dozens of card interactions, devastating spells, and powerful units that only reveal themselves over multiple playthroughs. If you enjoy planning, decision‑making under pressure, and an epic fantasy setting, Kinghill will hook you. The component design is simple: a deck, worker tokens, resource markers, and a compact board—everything you need to start playing in under an hour. The learning curve is moderate; players must master both card mechanics and worker placement, but the fun comes quickly. In short, Kinghill is a blend of deep strategy, engaging cards, and a fantasy touch that satisfies both veterans and newcomers alike. The goal is clear: conquer the rival kingdom and control the Moonstones before time runs out.
