Tiny Epic Kingdoms is a fantasy 4x-game in a small box:
Each player starts with a unique faction (which has a unique technology tree) and a small territory. Throughout the game, players collect resources, explore other territories, battle each other, research magic, and work to build a great tower to protect their realm.
In the box you will find:
Each player chooses one of the 13 different factions, represented by a card which also holds the resource and the technology track. The resources each player has collected are marked by one resource token for each of the three resource types. The magic track goes from step 1 to step 5, each marking a special ability the player can research.
In addition to the faction card each player has a territory card in front of him, which represent the world of Tiny Epic Kingdom. There are 8 double-sized cards in the game: one side is the easier side without any special region, the other side has a least one special region like a capital city or ruins.
Players can explore the Territory Cards and fight the other factions with their meeples. Each player can have up to seven meeples on the map.
The action a player can take get chosen on the Action Card. If an action has been taken it get marked by one of the shield token. On the Tower Card each faction can mark the level of there tower (= brings victory points and if a Tower gets finished the game stops) with the tower token.
And finally we have the active player token and the two special D12, which get used to decide fights between the factions.
The game works really well and offers a lot of variety based on the different Territory cards and factions that can be in play. Thanks to the action mechanism it feels like a Eurogame, but with an fantasy explore and conquer theme. It plays up to 5 players and the playing time should be somewhere between 30-45 minutes.
