Overview

Kinghill is a worker-placement game at heart, with a focus on gaining dominance on the board using units and spells.

In this game you take the role of a general leading a great kingdom into deadly battle to siege the enemy castle and claim a powerful artifact.

Inspiration comes from games like Lords of the Waterdeep, The Manhattan Project, Caverna or card games like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering.

Mixing together these two genres creates the opportunity for unique gameplay and an awesome experience for both euro and card-game players.

If you already have enough of building farms and feeding workers, focus rather on gathering your army, developing the Castle and studying powerful spells.
