Description

The Two Heirs is a strategic game of medieval-themed competition, where one to two players take on the roles of siblings vying for the crown. Published in 2022, this game was designed by Olda Rejl, Ivan Dostál, and Ondra Cigánek, and it's clear they've crafted an experience that's both challenging and engaging. With a playtime of 30 to 60 minutes, it's the perfect fit for a casual game night or a more in-depth session, depending on your pace. The rules are of normal complexity, so if you're familiar with board games, you'll have no trouble diving in. As you play, you'll be building a network of buildings using three key resources: wood, grain, and stone. The twist is that the buildings you can construct are determined by a rondel of cards, which is influenced by the movement of warbands. These warbands are crucial, as they not only determine which buildings are available but also dictate the resources at your disposal. With six interchangeable modules, each containing nine buildings, you'll have a unique experience every time you play. By selecting three modules for each game, you'll enjoy a high replay value, keeping the game exciting and fresh for many sessions to come. Will you emerge victorious and claim the crown, or will your sibling outmaneuver you? There's only one way to find out.
