Age of Conan: The Strategy Board Game

Players command one of the major Hyborian kingdoms and compete for regional dominance through military, diplomatic and magical actions. The game proceeds across three ages; each age uses a rotating set of Conan adventure cards that players bid over to determine who controls Conan for a given adventure. Fate dice are rolled into a common pool and players draft dice to take the actions shown, using armies, emissaries and kingdom cards to expand territory, generate income and influence. Adventures can grant special benefits and interact with bids and dice choices. Between ages, players score, collect gold and perform kingdom‑building actions to prepare for the next era.
