Land of Clans

Deep in the Scottish Highlands, the clans fight over the finest pieces of land. The first player to build four castles brings the game to an end. But watch out: the player with the most castles does not always win. It is all about points, and bigger castles are worth more. In Land of Clans you build, defend and attack, while always keeping just five cards in your hand. Every card shows a landscape that matches a spot on the board. Play a card to claim a space. Collect the right spaces and you may place a castle on them. Some cards have a sword for attacking, others a shield for defending. Choose your cards with care, because with such a small hand every decision counts. The game has two faces. First comes the quiet build-up, in which you claim land and place castles. Then comes the tension: you can capture your opponents' castles. Throw your swords on the table and hope your opponent has not kept back enough shields. If the attack succeeds, the castle is yours. The craftiest clan leader takes the win.
