Description
"Build me a castle! Build me a city worthy of my Queen!" Your King's wish is your command, so you decide to travel into the valley of Queensdale, collect raw materials, build buildings, and take fate into your own hands. Fame and fortune are sure to be yours — if only there weren't those other glory seekers who also followed the King's wishes! Act with courage and wisdom, and remember that your decisions will have consequences...
The Rise of Queensdale is a legacy-style game. Your decisions have an impact on the game and its rules, and over the course of multiple game sessions, you create a unique game experience. Upgrade your dice, develop your boroughs, gain the King's patronage, and experience the rise or fall of Queensdale — it's in your hands!
