Wangdo - Kingdom of Bears, for 2 - 4 players aged 8 and up (EN edition)

The path to becoming a good king. Long ago, when there were no humans, four bear clans existed to help the king govern his realm in the northeast of Asia. Eventually, the old king had to decide to whom he would pass on his throne. The clans sent their princes out into the world to acquire all the important skills that the next king would need. They traveled from city to city, erected sacred bear statues, and in return gained knowledge about religion, education, warfare, and trade. A new journey begins. Who will sit on the throne next?

The ingredients are perfect for a bear-tastic family game. Wangdo features very few, easy-to-understand rules and impresses with its visually and tangibly appealing components. The short playtime of 30 minutes does not overwhelm younger players, while the mechanisms are clever and allow for strategic maneuvers.

The battle of the bear clans for the crown follows a simple yet cunning pattern. On their turn, players can either organize new bear figures. They can draw three random bears from the supply bag or take two specific figures from the temple, where up to four bear figures of each color are located. Alternatively, a player can place a bear figure in one of the free villages on the game board and receive a knowledge chip in return. The catch: bears must be placed adjacent to bears of a different color, which limits options. At the same time, the player must also give up bears: one of the same color for each newly placed bear that is adjacent to it. These figures go to the temple, ensuring that there is always a certain supply available.

In Wangdo, players have the best chance to manage their bear supply...
