About the game
Lords of Xidit blends tactical strategy with simultaneous programming to keep you and your friends glued to the table. You play as one of the Idrakys heirs, the kingdom’s last hope to restore peace. Instead of simply drawing a card, you plan your moves ahead, lining them up in an action queue that plays out simultaneously—creating that classic "what will the other do?" tension.

The real hook? Elimination based on scoring. At the end, you compare influence in two different categories, and the player with the lowest score gets eliminated and their pieces removed. The order of categories is shuffled at the start, forcing you to adapt your strategy each game. It’s a high‑stakes, elimination‑style twist that keeps everyone on edge.

The game also features sealed‑bid auctions, point‑to‑point movement, and a pick‑up‑and‑deliver mechanic, giving the board a lively, dynamic feel. Recruit soldiers, capture cities, and build sorcerer guilds while amassing wealth and fame. With a 90‑minute playtime, 3‑5 players, and medium complexity, Lords of Xidit delivers a fast‑paced, immersive fantasy experience.

If you love fantasy titles with a strategic edge and enjoy planning ahead, Lords of Xidit will be a hit. Arm your army, plan your actions carefully, and see if your family can save Xidit from the Black Southern Host’s corruption!
