Editing Kingdom Death (section)

== Kingdom Death: Monster ==

A hybrid of a boardgame-RPG-card game where 1-6 players take the role of a settlement of human survivors trying to stay alive in the eternal darkness of the Kingdom Death world. While each survivor has their own name, life, and story, the world is very deadly, and focus should be given to the settlement rather than a single character. To put it short, you die A LOT.

How does it play?

A KD:M campaign consists of 20-30+ "Lantern Years" (can be extended), each taking about 1-3 hours to play. Each year is divided to three phases:

1. Settlement Phase - Events occur as you exploit your limited resources to develop the settlement and craft gear.

2. Hunt Phase - Go out to hunt a monster so your settlement doesn't starve. The many dangers of the KD world await along the path(in the form of RNG)

3. Showdown Phase - The main focus of the game. Battle a monster in a difficult and deadly fight that plays like a cross between Dark Souls, Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy Tactics.

What happens when those years are up?  Well, that would be telling... but if you were expecting a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
