Dark Lord: Lucious Vain



Dark Lord: Rita Swanson

Very good start so far. The project has been funded by 70% in about two hours. As soon we reach the funding goal we will post the Social Media Stretch Goals. We can really reach all the goals we designed!

Guardians of the Realms!

Your support has been great! Your effort to save the Realms is amazing, but more dark forces come your way. The Atlantis Dark Lord: King Neptune and Euryale are now added to the villains you have to battle. Don't let your guard down protectors! King Neptune does not come alone – he is a king after all. When things get difficult, he summons Triton the invader: exploit 5 talents to defeat him or drown in his waves. Euryale should not be underestimated either. A gorgon-like foul creature, who will curse you as soon as you enter her realm and 3 talents of your choice, will be lost.

Thought this thread would be celebrating Turkish political reforms or something...perhaps it is? (scratches head)

Personally, I was hoping for the rise of the Hittites.

Guardians of the Realms!

Your quest until now has been successful! Atlantis has been saved and now the Realm of the Clockwork Shire needs you, for the new Dark Lords have arrived. Steam Baron might look a simple old man but beware of his unyielding ability. You might think you have killed him, but have you really?



The Abyss Hunter is tricky. The Automata will blast you away if you are not careful. Roll the area die 3 times before you challenge Abyss Hunter. If you fail, you lose your turn and Abyss Hunter remains in the Realm

Let's begin with the first two social stretch goals:

#1: Help us reach 250 fans of the 12 Realms BGG page and 150 fans on Bedtime Story BGG page. As a reward you receive the 1st metal badge for the Forest Fairy Realm and the 2nd one for Kievan Empire.

The badges will be revealed as soon we reach our goals. And more will follow

Guardians of the Realms!

The latest reports have shown that the Realm of Clockwork Shire is now safe, but alas! Horrorville is doomed! Maila the Vampire will fight until there is no blood left in you. She summons werewolf the invader who will terrorize you. Even if you send him back to his world, the invasion marker will still increase by 1. Dr Jekyll is right behind them. Crazy and he is unpredictable – Changeling is his ability and the Talent die will determine the Talents you need to destroy him!

Until we reach our next goal, here is something we were preparing and we would like all of you to be part of it. We started a thread on BGG regarding Wild Boar and Panda Warrior. This thread is our third Social Stretch Goal. Help us get 100 replies and the Bone's Island badge will be unlocked.

So who you think these Heroes might be? They belong to the Tang Dynasty Realm. You can find the thread here: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1380008/who-are-they




We made a change in the Stretch Goals and we hope you find it good. Instead of reaching the $70000, we changed it to 500 backers, so 10 more people and two new Dark Lords will be available.  Feel free to share the news on your social media and invite your friends.

Guardians of the Realms!

The peace in the fairy world is yet to come. The Tang Dynasty Dark Lords have awakened. Azure Lion is growling to intimidate you. And his intimidation might work. If you challenge him and destroy him, he blasts you away with his growl and you lose four Talents: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magecompany/12-realms-bedtime-story



Bull Demon King is tough as hell – you cannot yield him, so you play with your chances. Roll the area die 4 times and pray to avoid the I or you will have to face him again since he returns back!



The first wave of terror and doom has come to an end. Help is near! At $75K Ghost Town will offer its heroes, Br'Er Rabbit and Lassie but its Dark Lords are also close. Rita Swanson and Lucius Vain will bring new havoc in the Realms at $90K. At 90K you get the 2 Dark Lords Minis but also 2 Transparent Minis as well! Help is close guardians. Your forces will grow!

Now, some very good news for our stretch goals. We adjusted some of them and as a result is to add one more goal before $100K. We also lowered the $90K and the $105K. You can see the new list below. Now we can reach more goals and we have plenty time to do it. In few days our campaigns on Spieleschmiede and on GiochixStarter will go live so we will combine the funds to reach some stretch goals faster. So during this process we will make adjustments to the stretch goals list. You can still help us spread the word by following us on the social media stretch goals, it will just take a couple of minutes to share the news.

12 Realms is a cooperative game for 1-6 players, which is constantly expanding. The expansions that have been published by now are 12 Realms: Ancestors Legacy, 12 Realms: Ghost Town and the latest expansion is Bedtime Story currently funding on Kickstarter:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magecompany/12-realms-bedtime-story

All expansions add new features to the gameplay change the experience offered by the core game.



The beginning

All the villains of the fairy tales decided to unite because in the fairy tales they always lose. Therefore they decided to destroy all the fairy tales as we know them and make themselves victorious. What the villains desire is to change the ending we know saying "they all lived happily ever after".



Where

12 Realms take place in the world of the fairy tales. Little Red Riding Hood, Siegfried, Frankenstein & Andromeda, everything you have ever loved and can possibly imagine is there. The reel holds 12 different stories:

The Silver Kingdom: Is a world of fantasy. Knights in shining armors, innocent princesses with rose cheeks, well-fortified castles and powerful kings all of them exist in this realm.

Fairy Forest: As the name implies, the Fairy Forest can travel you to the world of fairies. Nature is green, the trees are high and in the deep forest you can find fairy like creatures like goblins, dryads and more.
 
Cherry Blossom: This is the pink realm. And what is more pink than the perfect cherry blossoms in Japan? As you can imagine, here you can find several far east  and humanoid like creatures, such as red oni and raccoons. Don't let them defeat you!

Bones Island: Arrrrggghhh! Drinking rum and safekeeping the treasures is what you do in this island! But don't you think you'll pass so easily! Pirates, parrots, pirate pigs, ghosts and corsairs are just some of the creatures you will have to battle when you enter this realm.




Olympia: A realm devoted to the Greek mythology. Here a sense of divine lurks in the air. Mythological heroes and creatures, like satyrs, centaurs, harpies and Perseus await you for your doom.

Kevan Empire: A cold world with creatures lurking in the Kevan Empire's land. Do you think you can get past Baba Yaga and the rest of the human-like enemies?

Nile Valley: The realm of the Nile might be great, but the curse of the Pharaoh might be upon you. Can you battle the power of Egypt? Scorpions, mummies, pharaos and mighty gods are just a few of your enemies.

Golden Caliphate: Is at all its glory! Caliphs, wizards and djin travel across its land ready to cast their spells.




Apart from the previous realms, other newer realms have been developed in the Fairy World. These will be available in the Bedtime Story expansion. Here's a sneak peak of the new realms.
 
Clockwork Shire: A Steampunk touch was missing from 12 Realms, and the Clockwork Shire has come to fill this gap. Robots, mechanical and automaton creatures will be hunting you! Are you afraid of the robot shark and the robot cannons?

Horrorville: Who said there is no room in 12 Realms for movie horror and urban legends? Do you remember The Hand from the Adams family? The headless horseman? Frankenstein? Well, pair them with ghosts and warewolves and you have the setting of Horrorville ready.
 
Atlantis: The Mythic land of Atlantis is full of mystery, so is this realm. In the depths of the sea, you will find sea gods, sea dragons, water spirits ready to fight for this realm.

Tang Dynasty: The Far East has yet another dynasty to offer. Creatures of the eastern lore, like evil spirits and demon monster will be among the creatures you will have to win. Demon rhinos, demon pythons and others will reveal their secret abilities.

Game structure

The invaders: The core mechanism of the game is that every player chooses one hero, and in collaboration with the rest of the players tries to save the realms. At the beginning of each round the players draw cards equal to the active realms and add invaders. It is key for the game that you use your heroes' talents in an efficient way in order to be able to defeat the invaders, while at the same time you will have to tackle their abilities. Beware though, because as long as they stay alive, the invasion marker moves to a higher number on the invasion track and when it reaches the top level, you all lose the game.
 
The Dark Lords: When the invasion marker reaches level 16, then the Dark Lords come in the game. The Dark Lords are bosses that the heroes have to defeat in order to be able to protect the realms.
 
The town: Every realm has its town, and this is the source of power for every hero. There you can spend your gold in order to buy several items that can grant you power in order to defeat the villains.




Game structure using expansions

Ancestor Legacy, Ghost Town, as well as Bedtime Story, which is currently funding on Kickstarter, add new elements to the core game. Here are some of the changes that you will encounter in the game expansions.

Plots: Are different scenarios created for every realm, that add a new story and mechanisms, as well as new components per realm and alternative game endings. Therefore with these expansions, both the core story and the plot apply to the game. This is very important because plots offer alternate winning conditions to the game.

Companions: The companions give the opportunity to each player to take control of 2 heroes in every round, by adding some rules which are slightly restrictive in terms of using this feature. Essentially it is as if one hero is the mind and the other is the body.




The characters

12 Realms offers a wide variety of characters: Snow-white, Nutcracker, Little Red Riding Hood and Robin Hood are just some of them. Each character has their own two sided board. One side features the hero talents, and the other features less talents and one ability, thus increasing replayablity.




The variants

The core game offers a lot of variants except the basic rules, variants that you can try if you wish to test the game in different modes and levels and adjust it to your taste. In other words, this is another feature that adds to the game replayability, since the variants mostly alter the game difficulty. So in a more family friendly environment you can try the easy rules and so on.

Black Fortress: The Black Fortress appears once in each realm when the invasion marker reaches a specific level. The heroes then need to destroy the Fortress first, because it casts a curse to the realm and they cannot fight the invaders who are there.  

Promo invaders: The promo invaders are enchanted creatures that have been turned into stone and increase the game difficulty. Their difference compared to the regular invaders is that a hero must spend double the  talents to defeat such a monster.



Inn stable and Bazaar buildings: These are buildings that are placed in different realms and provide heroes with items (cards) which they can buy in order to make it easier for them to defeat the villains. In general it is suggested that players who try the game for the first time, or who want to play on easy mode, add these buildings to their game.
