In one embodiment, game 100 includes one game board 102, one tray 112, thirty coins 114, five sets of twenty flags each set, such as Flags F1A, F1B, F2A, F2B, (each set of flags having its own, distinctive color); seven Leader Cards with corresponding Leader Pieces (such as LP1, LP2); nine Ally Cards with corresponding Ally Pieces (such A1, A2A, A2B); seven Development Cards with corresponding Development Pieces (such as D1, D2); and five Land Cards.
In the embodiment shown in
Referencing
Any one suitable way can be used to select the starting player 206. At the start of a player's turn, the player receives 208 one coin for each territory the player has flagged. Referencing
Thirty coins 114 are placed in tray 112 at the start of each game. The resources among the Lands are finite. In one embodiment, a player cannot receive a number of coins 114 that exceeds the number of coins 114 in tray 112 at the start of the player's turn.
At the Action Phase 210, a player can move the player's Leader Piece and/or Ally Pieces 212; strike or flag a territory 214; build developments, acquire Ally Cards, and/or spawn Ally Units 216; and/or use traits 218. As described below, in certain embodiments, taking actions 212-218 can require paying a certain number of coins 114.
Travel 212. In one embodiment, at the cost of one coin 114, a player can move a Leader Piece or Ally Unit to a territory bordering the territory in which the Leader Piece or Ally Unit stands. For example, referencing
Striking 214. A player can attack an opponent's territory. A player's Strike Force is determined by adding together the Strike Force of the attacking Leader or Allied Units the player uses to attack. A player's Guard Force is determined by adding together the Guard Force of the defending Leader, Allied Units, and Developments in the attacked territory. If a player's Strike Force is greater than the attacked opponent's Guard Force in the attacked territory, everything within the attacked territory is removed (that is, Flag, Leader Piece, Allied Units, and Development Pieces). If an attack succeeds, the Leader Piece and/or Allied Units participating in the attack are moved to the seized territory. Any Leader Pieces and/or Allied Units in the attacking territory that did not participate in attack do not move the seized territory.

Flagging 214. In one embodiment, flagging a territory can be done when it is unguarded; that is, there is no Leader Piece, Ally Piece, and/or Development Piece in the territory. If a player has a Leader Piece or Ally Piece on an unflagged territory, the player can pay one coin 114 to flag the territory. If a territory is flagged by an opponent and the territory is unguarded, a player can pay one coin 114 and invade the territory with a Leader or Allied Unit if the Leader Piece or Ally Piece is in a territory bordering the targeted territory.
Guarding 214. A player can guard a territory by placing a Leader Piece, an Ally Piece, and/or a Development Piece in the territory. In one embodiment, determining the size of a territory's defense involves adding up the combined Guard Force from the Leader, Ally Units, and Developments within the given territory.
Acquiring allies and growing armies 216. Acquiring Ally Cards and spawning Ally Units can be advantageous. To acquire an Ally Card a player can pay coins 114 equal to the cost stated on an available Ally Card (see for example,
The Ally Card remains with the player who owns the Ally Card until all the corresponding Allied Units which the player spawned are removed from game board 102 (or by various traits and functions during game play). When no Ally Units corresponding to an Ally Card are on game board 102, the Ally Card is returned to Ally Card Deck 106, and can be acquired by players again.
Building Developments 216. A player can buy a Development Card by paying the cost stated on the Development Card. A player can place Development Piece (for example, D1 or D2) on a territory that the player has flagged. A player cannot build on an unflagged territory or one that is flagged by an opponent. The player receives the Development Card and places the corresponding Development Piece on the player's flagged territory of their choice.
If a Development has a function that is activated by paying coins 114, the player with the Development can use the function 218 during the player's turn as often as the player likes as long as the player pays for using the function each time. When a Development is removed from game board 102, the Development Cards is returned to Development Card Deck 110. That Development becomes available for purchase by a player.
Formal Truce 219. In some embodiments, attacking opponents is not the only way to grow an empire. Some players can use the alternative of Formal Truces. To initiate a Formal Truce, a player publicly invites another player (one player at a time) to establish a Formal Truce. Two players that have established a Formal Truce can no longer attack each other's territories without consequence. If a player breaches their Formal Truce by attacking the truce partner, the breaching player's turn ends after their attack, and the breaching player loses their next turn.
In certain embodiments, two ways to end a Formal Truce can be provided. One is to attack the Formal Truce partner. Another way to end a Formal Truce is to pay five coins 114 to their truce partner at the end of the player's turn. Then the former truce partner can start their next turn with an additional five coins (that is, if there are enough coins in the tray).
Once a player has taken an action 212-219, at a step 220 it can be determined whether the player is holding three trophies (for example, T1, T2, and T3). In one embodiment, if the player holds three trophies, the player wins the game 224. If the player does not hold three trophies, at a step 222 it can be determined whether all the other players have lost their empires. If all the opponents have lost their empires, then the player wins the game 224. If opponents remain in the game, at a step 226 it can be determined whether the player has coins 114 and desires to take additional actions 212-219. If the player has coins 114 and desires to take additional actions 212-219, method 200 continues at step 210. If the player does not have coins 114 or does not want to take additional actions 212-219, method 200 continues at step 206 for the next player's turn.
Ruling Regions. Values and Incentives. As a player expands the player's empire, a player can become a Ruler of a Land. A player becomes Ruler by flagging at least three territories within the Land, in which case the Ruler receives the corresponding Land Card. Every Land has its own values. If a Ruler satisfies the requirements stated on the Land Card, the player can receive rewards, such as Trophies—among other various bonuses.
If multiple players have three flagged territories in the same Land, the Land Card is returned to Land Cards Deck 108. In some embodiments, three flagged territories are the minimum required to rule a Land; however, the player with the most flagged territories within a Land is the Ruler of the Land. In certain embodiments, there can be only one Rule of a Land. Multiple players can have flagged territories in the same Land, but only one player can be the Rule of that Land.
In some embodiments, each Land has perks and bonuses that can vary from Land to Land. If a player rules a Land, the player can have advantages that other players do not have. A player can take over an opponent's ruled Land when the player has more flagged territories in that Land than the opponent.

As illustrated in
To start gameplay, Players must first select the flag color to represent their empire. Then players will take turns rolling the 6 dice. If a player rolls the same number as a player who rolled before them did, they must continue to roll until they get a number nobody else rolled. this will determine which region each player's empire will originate in. once every player has rolled their unique number, they will receive a flag to place within a territory of the corresponding region. (Corresponding region can be found on the number stated on the center bottom of each region card)
In some embodiments, if a player rolls a 6 on the 6 dice they should not panic or roll again, rather that player can choose the kingdom they desire as long as it has not yet been allotted to another player who may have rolled before them.
Now it is time for players to roll the 8 dice. When all players rolled their unique number on the 8 dice they will receive their corresponding leader card as well as the corresponding leader piece. The leader piece needs to be placed on the same territory each player placed their flag.
In some embodiments, if a player rolls an 8 they will not need to roll again, rather they can choose from any of the available leaders remaining in the pile or deck.
In some embodiments, In the beginning of each players turn, players will receive one action coin equal to the amount of territories they have flagged (then perhaps addition action coins from various in game traits, functions, and perks).
In the beginning of each game there should be 30 action coins in the tray. The recourses between the 5 regions are finite. A player cannot receive an amount of action coins which exceed that which is in the tray in the beginning of their turn (If at the beginning of the game there was 30 action coins in the tray do not use a substitute coin later in the game to enable a player to collect beyond what was in the tray in the beginning of their turn. Leveraging the scarcity is a vital factor of the game. Inflating Middle Realms economy with substitute coins will damper some of the strategic avenues of the game giving some players an unfair disadvantage.) Coins that are not used during a players turn are returned to the tray at the end of their turn. (Players may find ways around this mandatory discard of coins. From in-game perks, traits, and functions.)
At the cost of one action coin move a leader or mercenary unit to any of the territories bordering the one it is in. Leaders can only move once per turn. Mercenary units can move several times, paying an action coin for each move.
Acquiring the right mercenaries can help a lot, in order to do so, a player must pay action coins equal to the cost stated on the mercenary card they wish to acquire! After a player acquires a mercenary card, they are able to spawn the corresponding units. The mercenary card will then also be in their position.
Acquiring a mercenary card will enable a player to spawn mercenary units. Each set of mercenaries has it's own set of strings and traits. Having acquired a mercenary will you to spawn the appropriate mercenary units to the board.
If a player is in possession of a mercenary card and chooses to spawn a corresponding unit to the board, they may do so by paying one action coin. Players cannot spawn mercenary units if they do not posses the card for it.
Players can only spawn mercenaries on territory's they have flagged. Players can only spawn mercenary units if they have acquired the corresponding mercenary card. Mercenary traits are listed on the back of the card. Mercenary traits give all mercenaries their unique abilities to be used in game. Players can spawn as many times per turn as they can afford, each spawn costing 1 action coin.
The mercenary card will remain with the player who acquires it until at some point all the corresponding pieces for the card that have been spawned have been removed from the board. (or by various in game traits and functions). When this happens the mercenary card goes back to the mercenary deck, and can be acquired by players again. For example, if a player has 5 mercenary units spawned, and during an opponents turn all the units were wiped off the map from battle, the player who had the 5 mercenary units spawned must return the mercenary card back to the mercenary deck/pile.
In an alternate example, a player has the max number of units (let's say 12) on the map. All the units are of the same kind, and all but one was defeated in battle and removed from the map. The player then does not need to return the card back the deck/pile, and if they choose to spawn 11 more to max out again they may.
Being well equipped with all the right tools can often be a great advantage, in order to build a development, first make sure the territory you wish to build it on, is one that you have flagged. You cannot build on an unflagged territory or one that is flagged by another player. Second, pay the cost stated on the card. Third, receive the card (as a reference) and place the accompanying piece on your flagged territory of choice!
If a development has a function which is activated only by paying action coins, the player with the development can use the function by paying the stated cost. When a development has been wiped off the map, return the development card to the development card deck. That development can then be acquired by players again.
In this aspect of the game, the strike force box and guard force box on the many of the cards come in play. Flagging a territory is easiest when it is not being defended. If a player has a leader or mercenary unit on a non-flagged territory, the player can pay one action coin to flag the territory! (flagging a territory will mean that the player puts a flag on the board where they are flagging).
If a territory is flagged by an opponent, but is not being guarded, a player can invade the territory by striking it from a boarding territory.
Guarding or defending a territory is as simple as placing leaders, mercenary units, and or developments on it. Determining how great the defense of any territory is, is a matter of adding up the combined guard force from the developments, leaders and mercenary units within any given territory
Seizing/striking guarded territories usually requires over whelming force. If the strike force of an attacking leader or mercenary unit/mercenary units is greater than the total guard force of the targeted territory, then wipe off of the map everything within the territory that was attacked (flag, developments, champion, allied units/allied armies). then advance the champion, or allied units which attacked to the seized territory. If there were additional allied units or a champion on the attacking territory that did not attack they do not advance to the seized territory.
The cost of striking with a single mercenary unit or leader will cost one action coin.
Multiple mercenary units of the same kind can strike together in doing so increasing the power of their attack. The total strike force will add up to the combined strike force of each unit. United strikes can be costly however since for each unit involved in the strike will cost the player one action coin.
Players can acquire as many mercenary cards as they can afford and are available to be purchased, but mercenaries of different kinds cannot attack together.
For example if 5 units are involved in the strike the player striking must pay 5 action coins.
As players expand their empire, they may come to rule regions of the map. In order to do so a member must have at least 3 territories within a region flagged. if a player does rule a region, they receive the regions accompanying card.
Ruling a region comes with many perks. The perks of each region differ, but all the perks are stated on the back of each region card.
What if two or more players all have three flagged territories in the same region? Then the accompanying region card is returned to the region deck. Though three flagged territories are the minimum to rule a region the player with the most flagged territories within a region will rule over it. moreover, rulership over a region cannot be shared, many players may have flagged territories in the same region, but only one can rule it.
The perks and bonus of each region vary, but what they all have in common are unique advantages, in one way or another, if you rule a region, you've got certain advantages that you opponents don't. players can take over an opponent's ruled region when they have more flagged territories. Rulership as well as the accompanying land card always go to the player with the most flagged territories (minimum 3)(with the exception of various in game traits or functions.)
When a player receives a region card from ruling the region they receive bridge pieces. There is a bridge box on every region card, this box will show you how many bridge pieces you will receive.
Although throughout the game players may take other players regions through battling, only the first person to rule the region receives the bridge pieces.
Bridge pieces can be placed on the board in between two bordering territories that are in different regions in order for leaders and mercenary units to travel from one region to another.
Once a bridge has been laid it can be used by all players. The bridge will only transport the mercenary unit or leader from one territory to the other connected to the bridge. Bridges can only be laid at the end of a players turn at the cost of three action coins. Bloodshed and constant battle aren't the only way to grow a mighty empire, for those players who would like to explore the alternative, consider formal truces.
In order to initiate a formal truce a play must publicly (among all players) invite one other player (at a time) to share in a Formal Truce.
Two players that have declared a public truce can no longer declare a strike on each other's territory without consequence. If a player compromises their formal truce by declaring a strike against the other player then; their turn is immediately ended after the strike, and their next turn is skipped.
There are two ways to end a formal truce; one, strike the formal truce partner (not recommended). Two, a player can pay 5 action coins to their partner during the end of their turn. Then when the former partner will start their next turn with an additional 5 action coins (if there is enough in the tray that is). The first way a player can win is by having 3 kingdom stone. Kingdom stones are acquired by fulfilling the requirements stated on the bottom of every region card.
The second way a player can win is by default, in most cases once a player no longer has any flagged territories they are eliminated from the game (unless the player has stored action coins, and some means of getting a flagged territory) if all but one player have been eliminated, the one remaining wins.
