Description

Land of Clans is a medieval-themed game where 2 to 4 players compete to build castles on claimed land in the Scottish highlands. The goal is to build four castles, but it's not that simple - the size of the castles matters, and the player with the highest total score wins. The game is easy to learn, and a typical play session lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. Players use cards to claim land, with each card showing a land symbol that matches a space on the board. Some cards also feature a sword for attacking or a shield for defending, adding a layer of strategy to the game. As players take turns, they must manage their hand of five cards carefully, deciding when to claim land, build castles, or launch attacks on their opponents' strongholds. The game is divided into peaceful land claiming and aggressive castle conquering, making for a thrilling experience. With the right combination of cards, players can outmaneuver their opponents and claim victory. Designed by Richard Heayes and Petter Ilander, Land of Clans was published in 2020 and offers a fun and challenging experience for fans of medieval-themed games and strategic gameplay. With its unique blend of pattern building, hand management, and area majority mechanics, Land of Clans is a game that will keep you coming back for more.
