About the game

What you do in a play session

In Tiny Epic Kingdoms, you embody an ambitious, yet small, kingdom with the mission to expand, dominate territories, and become a recognized power. This pocket-sized 4X fantasy game challenges you to grow your population, unveil powerful magic, erect imposing towers, and make your neighbors feel a certain apprehension at the mention of your name. The big catch is that all other kingdoms have exactly the same plans, and there's limited room for so much success!

Each player starts with a unique faction, bringing with it an exclusive technology tree and a small piece of land to call their own. Throughout the game, the dynamic is intense: you'll collect valuable resources, explore uncharted territories, engage in epic battles against rival kingdoms, invest in magical research, and, of course, focus on building your grand tower to protect your domain. Prepare for strategic decisions in a compact format, where every choice can be the key to glory or the path to ruin for your small, but valiant, kingdom.
