Board Setup

Back to Top

There can be up to 4 Players per Game Board (🗺️ Map). If multiple 🗺️ Maps are being used, Players can choose how to align them.

TIP: Choosing different ways to align multiple 🗺️ Maps will change how the strategy of the game will play out (e.g. 4 🗺️ Maps in a line configuration, versus 4 🗺️ Maps in a square configuration, etc.)

Step 1) Banker

Back to Top

Choose a banker(s) by whatever method you wish (e.g. a designated banker, self-banking, etc.)

Step 2) Token Placement

Back to Top

There are 4 different types of tokens that will be dropped or placed randomly (Players' choice) on the board for setup.

Token Symbol Quantity
Item 🎁 3 x Player Count
Resource 💰 4 x Player Count
Monster 🧟 4 x Player Count
Mine ⚒️ 3 x Player Count

Example

Total Players: 3

Token Symbol Quantity
Item 🎁 9
Resource 💰 12
Monster 🧟 12
Mine ⚒️ 9

Step 3) Determine the ⚓ Anchor

Back to Top

Each Player will roll 🎲 1d6. The highest roll becomes the ⚓ Anchor and Player turn-order will proceed counter clockwise from the ⚓ Anchor.

In the event of ties on the highest rolls, those Players continue to roll 🎲 1d6 until the tie is resolved.

Roll
🎲 1d6

Example Comparing Rolls

Total Players: 3

Player Roll Result
Player A 🎲 1d6 🎲[6]
Player B 🎲 1d6 🎲[2]
Player C 🎲 1d6 🎲[3]

As a result, Player A goes first. Play would proceed counter clockwise to Player A

  • 💡 REMINDER The ⚓ Anchor simply determines who goes first whenever Player ordering must take place (e.g. placing 🏰 Settlements, moving 🧙‍ Heroes, etc.)

Step 4) Settlement Placement

Back to Top

Once the ⚓ Anchor has been determined, the 🏰 Settlement of each Player will be placed on any open tile on the map.

The ⚓ Anchor will place his or her 🏰 Settlement first, then each Player counter clockwise will take turns placing his or her 🏰 Settlement until all 🏰 Settlements have been placed.

Example

2 Players worth of Tokens
