About the game

What you do in a play session

Rolling Realms: Hokkaido Promo Pack is a compact yet tasty add‑on of six cards that brings the chilly vibe of Japan's northern island into your base game. Each card shows a pattern that must be drawn on the map during play, and the placement rules are straightforward: mountains can only occupy the central zone, while towns and forests may spread across the other areas. As you fit these patterns, you collect benefits that boost your score – the smarter the arrangement, the higher the gain. The expansion’s goal is simply to push players to think about how to make the most of the available spaces, turning the game into a tactical race for points in towns, forests, and peaks. Because the pattern‑drawing mechanic already exists in the base game, the promo adds no new rules, just extra variety and tactical depth. Playtime stays short (10‑30 minutes) and the complexity remains light (weight 3/5), perfect for those who know Rolling Realms and want a quick replay boost without extra hassle. It supports 1‑6 players, so it works for solo sessions as well as larger groups. In short, six Hokkaido‑themed cards with fresh artwork expand replayability and give the game a nice visual flair. If you enjoy collecting rare items or just want a fast deck upgrade, this expansion is a solid pick.
