## Description
Ortus Regni: Expansion brings the thrill of two extra players per version, allowing up to six adventurers to battle for control of an emerging kingdom. The expansion includes two full player card sets – the green and gold Earls in the first, and the purple and orange Earls in the second – plus oak trays, painted cubes, and an extra deck of Army cards. With these components, the Deck, Bag, and Pool Building dynamic becomes richer, as each player has more card and resource options to manipulate. The Player Elimination mechanic remains in play, keeping tension high; those who fail to maintain their army strength or negotiate alliances may be eliminated before victory. The medieval theme of castles, knights, and intrigue is preserved, but now there’s more room for collaborative strategies and direct confrontations. The game stays accessible, with clear rules and a playtime that ranges from 60 to 90 minutes depending on player count. If you love card games that blend planning, bargaining, and a touch of luck, Ortus Regni: Expansion is the right pick – it expands the universe without complicating the experience, bringing more fun and competition to the table.
