Kingsburg is a city building, worker placement game with a twist. The game is played over 5 years with each year divided into 8 phases (two phases for each of the seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). At the start of each year and after determining which player will receive aid from the king, all players roll their dice simultaneously. The dice become the workers to be placed carefully on some of the king’s 18 advisors. Each advisor helps the player who places their dice on him by granting rewards. These range from victory points, resources, armies, etc. Resources are used to construct buildings and to build an army. Buildings provide abilities throughout the game and score victory points as they are constructed. Armies are necessary to fend off the invading enemies that appear at the end of each year – Winter. Defeat the invading enemy and gain rewards, lose and forfeit resources, buildings, or victory points. Additionally, the king will appear during the year to bestow rewards on the strongest player and aid on the weakest player. The player who rolls well, plans well and pleases the king will gain the most victory points.
