About this game

Brandon the Brave sends young knights out to build their own little kingdom, one tile at a time, racing to arrange the right combination of forests, arenas and mysterious spots to complete a hand of quest cards. Matching tile edges sounds simple until you realize your path to the dragon's lair also needs to line up for the jousting arena three tiles over. Ten minutes is plenty for a full round, and the solo mode means it works just as well as quiet practice as it does at a full table. A gentle, genuinely fun entry point into tile-laying logic for kids who are ready for a bit more than pure luck.
