The Last Kingdom Board Game, designed by John D Clair, is a strategy game that puts players in the shoes of influential commanders and politicians during the tumultuous time of the Saxon-Dane conflict in 872. As the great kingdoms of Britain fight for dominance, it’s up to you to tilt the scales of power and shape the birth of a new nation.
This game shines in its emphasis on politics and diplomacy, making it best suited for 3 or more players. If you enjoy bluffing and engaging in strategic negotiations, The Last Kingdom is the game for you. With a recommended age of 14+ and a playtime ranging from 60 to 150 minutes, it offers a deep and immersive gaming experience.
In The Last Kingdom Board Game, players choose to align themselves with either the Saxons or the Danes, selecting a leader who will determine their unique abilities and starting cards. Through drafting cards, commanding armies, and gaining affinity with different factions, players position themselves strategically on the battlefield. The game also features a dynamic market of actions accessible to all players and intense battles fought in five regions. Victory points are awarded based on alignment and affinity, with the player accumulating the most points emerging as the ruler of Britain.
