Gameplay and Mechanics

In The Last Kingdom Board Game, players assume the roles of influential leaders striving for control of Britain during a time of conflict. The game consists of two rounds in which players take actions to command armies and shape the war's outcome. Your loyalty to either the Saxons or the Danes can be steadfast or changeable, and your score will not only reflect your battle prowess but also your political maneuvering among Britain's competing forces.

Each of the ten leaders offers unique advantages for your strategy and provides special cards to start your hand.

At the beginning of each round, players complete their hands by selecting cards from a round-specific deck.

The war then commences in one of the game's five regions.

During their turns, players play cards to command Saxon or Dane armies, earning favor with different factions and strategically positioning their heroes and leaders to influence the war's course. Additionally, a rotating market of actions is available to all players.

Alternatively, players can choose to pass their turn and observe the moves made by their opponents.

Once all players have consecutively passed, the outcome of the ongoing war in the current region is determined by comparing the strengths of the battling Saxon and Dane armies. Players earn victory points based on their alignment with the winning faction and their level of favor. The focus of the war then shifts to the next region, and the battle continues.

After the fate of all five regions has been decided, the round concludes.

After two rounds of play, the winner is determined based on the player who has accumulated the highest number of victory points.
