About the game
What you do in a play session
Valeria: Card Kingdoms – Expansion Pack #01: King's Guard is the first official add‑on for the base game, introducing a new citizen type – the King's Guard – that can be placed into the central stacks during events. It also adds Event cards, which share the exhausted back art and are shuffled together with regular exhausted cards. When a stack is exhausted there is a 50% chance to draw an Event; most are beneficial, though a few can be mildly detrimental. The box contains six King's Guard cards, five unique Event cards, a rules card and two dividers for component organization. The core Deck, Bag, and Pool Building mechanic stays, now flavored with Open Drafting of Events and Dice Rolling to resolve outcomes. The game keeps its quick 30‑45 minute playtime, supports 1‑5 players, and has a light weight (2.1/5), making it perfect for fans of fast fantasy card games that enjoy a dash of luck and simple strategic choices. In short, the expansion adds variety and a touch of unpredictability without overcomplicating the original experience.
