PLAYED FOR YOU

Kingdom Builder Nomads

Erweiterung 1

Each player creates his own kingdom by building settlements in order to acquire most gold at the end of the game. In each game you use 3 out of 10 Kingdom Builder cards; these cards set the conditions for getting gold at the end. Four of the eight quadrants are laid out and equipped with location tiles and summary cards.

In your turn you place a landscape card and then place settlements into this landscape according to stringent placement rules; when the settlements border locations you receive location tiles and can use their special abilities once per turn either before or after placing settlements. For each castle next to one of your settlements you always earn 3 gold.

The first expansion, Kingdom Builder Nomads, introduces the components for a fifth player. Furthermore, there are 4 new quadrants, which introduce the new landscape type of Nomad Hexes into play, these hexes cannot be settled and replace the Castle locations; also new are four new locations - Quarry, Caravan, Village and Garden including the corresponding summary cards. The 15 Nomad tiles offer additional special actions, which can only be used once in the game - Donation, Resettlement, Outpost, Sword and Treasure. New Kingdom Builder cards - Families, Shepherds and Ambassadors - earn you gold during the game and the cards Workers and Merchants from the basic game are replaced by new cards of the same name. And finally, there are 25 Stone Walls, which are introduced via the Quarry and block landscape hexes.

Nomads is an attractive expansion with lots of new features, which seamlessly join with the basic game and offer quite some challenges for experienced players.
