The game

Six realms. One Crown.

  • 2 to 6players
  • 30 to 150minutes
  • 8+age

Generals of Kaladan: Age of Crowns is a fantasy conquest game. Lay out the realm tile by tile, raise your armies, spend your gold and send your hero to the front. Every realm fights with its own magic.

Battles are fought tile against tile and settled with dice, highest against highest. Win, and you must march in and hold the ground you took.

Everything in the box, photographed as it came off the production line.

Elimination

For the ruthless. Every Crown for itself, player elimination and all. The last Crown standing takes Kaladan.

Team mode

The same fight for the Crown, as allies. Two pairs share a front and cover each other's flanks, and all four generals are still on the board at the end.

Area control, modular board, variable player powers, dice combat, partnership play.
