About this game
Kingsburg drops you into a border province with a king who expects results: gold, timber, stone and soldiers, all squeezed out of a handful of advisors you have to out-roll or out-maneuver your rivals for. You roll dice each round and commit them to advisor spaces in ascending value, so nabbing the best help means either being lucky or being willing to pay for it in numbers. Every fourth turn winter arrives with an invading force sized to your total dice pool, and an underprepared province pays in victory points. This second edition polishes a modern worker-placement classic where careful building and risk management matter just as much as the roll.
