Guildlands - HOW TO PLAY

Edra Tales

Edra Tales

Watch “Guildlands - HOW TO PLAY,” a how-to-play guide for Guildlands from Edra Tales on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Edra Tales on YouTube:

Guildlands is an asymmetric tile laying game of strategy and sabotage for 2 - 6 players, ages 10+, playtime 40 - 60 minutes, designed by Kedric Winks and Ken Boyter. To book a demo and meet the game's designers Ken Boyter and Kedric Winks at Gen Con 2025, click here: https://tinyurl.com/DemoGenCon To watch The Crooked Crown How To Play video, click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJmshL7IQaU In the world of Dragoria, the realm of Thornshire lies in chaos. A horde of ancient dragons have devastated the land, reducing cities and towns to smouldering ruins. Survivors have retreated into caves, waiting for the chance to rebuild their lives. Thornshire’s Queen has issued a royal decree: the Guilds must restore the realm and surpass its former glory. The capital city of Ferrum’s Ford will rise again, shaped by the finest craftspeople of the Royal Guilds: Road Toll Collectors, Merchants, Gardeners, Wizards, Druids and the City Watch. Each Guild brings unique expertise to honour the past and forge the future. Amid this noble mission, rivalries simmer. Tempted by power and wealth, the Guilds vie for dominance as they shape the city’s future. Will the scorched lands thrive again? Will Ferrum’s Ford rise to unmatched splendour? Which Guild will win the Queen’s favour and claim ultimate victory?

About Guildlands, from BoardGameGeek:

In the world of Dragoria, the realm of Thornshire lies in chaos. A horde of ancient dragons have devastated the land, reducing cities and towns to smouldering ruins. Survivors have retreated into caves, waiting for the chance to rebuild their lives. Thornshire's Queen has issued a royal decree: the Guilds must restore the realm and surpass its former glory. The capital city of Ferrum's Ford will rise again, shaped by the finest craftspeople of the Royal Guilds: Road Toll Collectors, Merchants, Gardeners, Wizards, Druids and the City Watch. Each Guild brings unique expertise to honour the past and forge the future. Amid this noble mission, rivalries simmer. Tempted by power and wealth, the Guilds vie for dominance as they shape the city's future. Will the scorched lands thrive again? Will Ferrum's Ford rise to unmatched splendour? Which Guild will win the Queen's favour and claim ultimate victory? Tile Actions: On your turn, you MUST perform one of two tile actions. The first action is to choose to take and add a new tile to the board. You may select to take a tile from the pool or risk taking the face-down tile from the top of the stack. The second action you may choose would be to rotate a tile on the City's edge to a more self-rewarding configuration. Be warned...your opponents are watching your every move. Special Actions: Once per turn you may perform a special action. Special actions allow you place your workers on the board or use your Guilds unique abilities. Choose wisely how you use these abilities as they are limited. OF COURSE THERE'S MONEY INVOLVED!!! You can obtain an additional tile or special action on your turn but there is a cost! Is the reward greater for the investment or the bonus points at the end of the game for unspent gold? Guild Boards: The Guild Boards detail each Guild's unique abilities as well as their goal in claiming the Queen's favor! Study all the boards carefully as each is specific to its own Guild. -description from the publisher
