Tournament Kit

Competitive rules and optional tournament variants from AEG's Tournament Kit.

The Tournament Kit (2021) holds silver and gold Royal Coins, an Initiative Marker, 16 Control Markers and 6 Proclamation Seals for two new factions, with rules for organised play.

Competitive play rules

• Use the newer Royal Guard card from Nobility.
• Always use the advanced draft.
• Deal everything first (units, Royal Decrees, Fortification Map). Then flip the Initiative Marker. The winner chooses either to draft first or second, or to play first or second; the loser gets the other choice.

Optional rules

Elimination draft

Deal 2 extra cards into the draft pool. Starting with the side that drafts first, each side removes one card before drafting.

Known start

Each player draws 3 coins, looks at them and sets them aside face down as their second hand, then draws 3 more as their first hand. After the first hand, play the set-aside coins instead of drawing; from the third hand on, play as normal.

Royal Decrees and Fortifications

Both are optional. Without decrees, remove the Earl and the Herald. Without Fortifications, remove the Sapper.
