Cover Your Kingdom

 

Cover Your Kingdom is the popular spin-off of Cover Your Assets made by the same Grandpa Beck Games.

OVERVIEW 👀

You are a ruler of a magical kingdom (congratulations!) but your kingdom has run out of magic. To restore the magic and become the best ruler (compared to the other rulers at the table) you must get clans of magical creatures to live in your kingdom! But beware - clans are easily swayed to other kingdoms if invited (stolen) by the same type of creature, or run away if special cards are played. Fortunately, clans that are covered are safe from being stolen away... or are they?

MY THOUGHTS 💭

Cover Your Kingdom has a lot of good things going for it, especially when comparing to Cover Your Assets. The puns are great, I usually hear chuckles around the table as people draw cards. It’s nice to have two stacks instead of one, but that also provides an extra challenge. Players have up to two actions instead of one, which is nice but can also lead to a little longer turns.

RECOMMEND?

Yes! Cover Your Kingdom is a perfect game for you home and makes a great gift! I played with a family from our-of-state and their youngest son (7) asked to play it over and over. We played as much as we could and then I ordered it on Amazon and sent it directly to their house.

SIDE NOTE 📝 Cover Your Kingdom is my claim to fame! I backed it on Kickstarter... earlier this year? Last year? 40 years ago? What even is time? 🤔 Anyway, I was one of the first to back it and now my name is forever printed on the back of the rulebook! I also met Grandpa Beck & Jeff Beck, creator of Cover Your Kingdom at GenCon! 🤩
