Centuries ago, the powerful Tuatha De Danann conquered the Emerald Isle and ruled with magic, military strength and powerful artifacts. Eventually the Tuatha De retreated to the Other World and left this one in turmoil. Many now claim the right to rule, but only one will be crowned High Ruler of the Emerald Kingdom. Will you be able to harness the remnants of the Tuatha De’s power to attain true greatness?

Emerald Kingdom is a 2-4 player game where players build, quest, and attack opponents. Rounds are separated into three seasons: Building Season, Harvest Season, and Raiding Season. Players simultaneously select what their warriors will do; attack, defend, or quest. This part of the game is critical because your Warriors can't be everywhere, so you have to out-maneuver your opponents. The ruler with the highest Renown after the last quest is drawn wins the game. Renown is gained by destroying enemy buildings, completing quests and purchasing building tiles.

Victory in a battle is not guaranteed. The dice could be against you, or your opponent could use a powerful Arcana card to turn the tides. These abilities can lead to some awesome combinations.

Not only do you have to decide what are the best buildings to buy, but also where to place them. Placement is imperative to a good defense and can improve productivity.

Emerald Kingdom lets you take ownership of your clan and your style of play. Will you invest heavily in defense and questing, or try to conquer all of your opponents through military might?
