It's the fifth stand-alone game in the series and brings the familiar feel of the previous games (with icons, characters, and easy turns) while building on familiar mechanics you'd expect (off-turn bonuses, multi-use cards, and resource-management).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou are a Margrave, a military commander tasked with defending the land of Valeria and building magical Ward Towers at cities. Knights in Valeria can be commanded by you or your fellow Margraves to slay monsters or activate locations in an effort to gain influence over the 4 Guilds: Worker, Soldier, Shadow, and Holy. As you gain influence, you'll cross thresholds that will earn you privilege tiles which give you bonuses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of the game, you'll earn victory points based on how much influence you have over a Guild and how many icons you've gained of that Guild. The Margrave with the most victory points at the end of the game will be named a Duke or Duchess and given their own province to protect and grow!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurns are deceptively simple as you only get to play 1 Citizen card from your hand. Each card can be played for action icons in the pennant (top-left), power text (at the bottom), or played face-down to perform one of the two actions on your player board (Recall your cards or Build a Ward Tower).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey features include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hand Building - Much like deck-building, you are drafting cards into your hand increasing your powers, victory points, and options. \u003cbr\u003e Multi-use Cards - Each card can be used in one of four ways, leaving you a lot of decision-making room to execute your strategy.\u003cbr\u003e Worker-Placement - Each time you move your Margrave or a Knight into a location, you activate the power of that location much like a worker placement game. \u003cbr\u003e Shared Workers - The Knights on the game board do not belong to a single player (anyone can use them) so be careful not to setup your opponents with powerful turns.\u003cbr\u003e Resource Management - You have limited storage spots on your player board and using them effectively (without wasting tokens) is key to winning the game. \u003cbr\u003e Hero Tombs - As you send Knights into battle, they die glorious deaths and are sent to tombs where you can collect bonuses in a well-integrated mini-game.\u003cbr\u003e Influence Track - Gain influence over the 4 Guilds by moving your markers across the tracks which will earn you more victory points at the end of the game for icons you collect.\u003cbr\u003e Fantastic Art - As with previous Valeria games, the Mico has really outdone himself by creating a rich and dynamic world full of color and life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Daily Magic Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32227872047155,"sku":"DMGMAR001","price":47.19,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic4815183.jpg?v=1592548193","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/margraves-of-valeria","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
