The Kingdom is one of our most beautiful games, but its gameplay is not as heavenly peaceful and smooth as you may expect from us. There is plenty of misfortune and tension what test one’s tolerance for failure. My family loves it, but I have to put extra effort into keeping my lady-like manner until the end of the game. A Kingdom az egyik legszebb játékunk, de a játékmenete közel sem olyan angyalian békés mint amit megszokhattatok tőlünk. Balszerencse és feszültség van benne bőven és ráadásul alaposan próbára teszi az ember kudarctűrését. A családom imádja… nekem pedig elég nyereség, ha sikerül megőriznem a hidegvéremet a játék végéig. :-D

It’s not typical of me to approach a game mathematically, but now I couldn’t stop myself from counting how many ways can be the River assembled. That doesn’t affect the gameplay – of course – but funny stories can come out of it. I managed to create ten different tracks, which somehow turned into eight photos - here’s the proof that I have serious problems with counting. :-D Is there anybody who succeeded to create more…? Általában nem jellemző rám, hogy matematikai úton közelítek meg egy játékot, de most nem tudtam megállni, hogy ne számoljam össze, hogy hányféleképpen lehet kirakni a River pályáját. Ez persze nem befolyásolja a játékmenetet, de nagyon szórakoztató történet kerekedik ki belőle. Tíz különböző pályát sikerült megalkonom, ebből valahogy nyolc fotó lett – íme a bizonyíték, hogy komoly problémáim vannak a számolással. :-D Esetleg valaki másnak sikerült több…?

Sorry for being quiet for a long time but I needed all my energy and enthusiasm to complete the new game. I proudly say that a new favourite was born! Hopefully, you will share my opinion when you get the chance of having your own copy in February 2021. Until then, take a look at my favourite characters:   

 

Do you know the secret of this door? Unfortunately, we forgot to mention it in the rules. Thanks to Tatyana for drawing our attention on this mistake! Please find the explanation below:… ( The rule book will be corrected on our website soon ) . The door with two keyholes is a tricky one: you need to get both of the matching keys to open it. Lay the keys on the door tile (one by one) following the original rules! The player who lands on this tile is allowed to open the door and keep both of the keys. If the ghost arrives there first, he gets them. If the ghost finds only one key laid on the door, he steals it anyway and makes it impossible for you to open the door. The remaining key could be a winning point if the players are lucky enough to get it later during the game. Te ismered ennek az ajtónak a titkát? Bármilyen fontos is, mi sajnos elfelejtettük megemlíteni a szabályban… Ezer köszönet Tatyana-nak, hogy felhívta a figyelmünket a hiányosságra!  Az ajtó két kulcslyukkal nagy kih...

 

I probably have spent too much time walking in the forest with the dog because one day, I caught myself imagining fantasy creatures around me. I could clearly see them hiding under the arched roots and lying peacefully on the moss-covered islands in the lake. As I discovered more and more unique details in the forest, I sank deeper into a new world. ...and a new story has begun. My new game leads you to a small, adventurous world under the leaves. The main characters of the game are busy with building magical boats which float above the water. (This is the only way to cross the Untouchable Lake.) The autumn forest gave me rich inspiration to finalise all the characters and the story itself. I wanted to continue the gameplay of The Wonderful World of Güs , I even picked a few things out of it but as the game was developing, these elements disappeared and something new cropped up instead. The game rule worked perfectly for a couple of days, but as usual, everything collapsed in a moment....
