KingdomiBuilder

Post by Tisaac »

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce that KingdomBuilder is now in Alpha !
In KB, the players create their own kingdoms by skillfully building their settlements, aiming to earn the most gold at the end of the game.
This game won the Spiel des Jahres in 2012, it's quite easy to learn with a lot of replayability.

Hopefully it won't contain a lot of bug, but surely could be improved on the UI, feel free to flood the bug reports with your suggestions :D

If you are already a reviewer, just go to the following link to test it : https://boardgamearena.com/reviewer?game=kingdombuilder
Otherwise, feel free to send my a PM so I can add you to the private group.

Thanks,
Tim

I only see 3 cards, not the board. Tried with Firefox and Edge on Windows and with Firefox on Android.

Your post should probably be a bug report, however I can confirm that it works for me on Firefox on Windows 10.

Thanks. For some reason this game (and only this game) did not work with Firefox 72, but worked after updating to Firefox 78.

I've made a big change in the html/css inbetween your two posts, so that might be the reason.

I don't have Firefox 72 handy right now, but I checked with Firefox 68 ESR and couldn't see the game board.

The physical game as tiles that show what the location tiles do, this would be very helpful for mobile play as rollover does not work

Tooltips works on mobile, you just have to tap and hold for a while to make them appear (as on any other game on BGA on mobile)

I have a request for an option you could turn on or off on Kingdom builder. That is to be able to see your next turns land card at the beginning of your turn at least for the first turn.
We always play this way after several very unenjoyable games where one player lost the game at the end of their 1st turn when they drew their land card and got an unlucky draw. This did not make for a very fun game for the rest of us to continue playing knowing that player could not hope to win. In those games that player was not always last but they never won.
If you add this mod my group would be very excited to play Kingdom builder on BGA.

I dont understand what you are suggesting. You mean you are playing with ALL the terrain cards already known ??
This would be a completely different game.
