At last, the 2nd Edition of Conquerors and Kings (CK) are here. We want to sell you a set – £25.00 GBP for the full print version and £12.00 GBP for the PDF version. Brookhurst Hobbies will get the print versions soon for U.S. customers.
The usual RFCM team have worked on these rules for two years. Two of the team have been commercially publishing rules for nigh on 50 years. A lot of experience.
CK is a complete set of rules. By this is meant that CK has rules for setting up the scenery, deciding who is the defender and attacker, a full points system, scenario generator, and victory decision mechanism. Both players get a full role in the game. No more turning up to a game that has already has the scenery laid out, armies chosen, and battle plan dictated.
As in the 1998 Edition of CK, the game is Peter Pig gridded. This allows bold and simple play. A PP hallmark. The dice used are all normal 1 to 6 ones, too.
Even more, the army book is free to download from the PP website, along with a free-to-download playsheet and battlesheet. One player can buy the rules, and the others just download the sheets.
A CK game last about 2.5 hours from "let me show you my latest painted unit" to "well done, good game".
CK encourages players to have a plan. No flurry of randoms.
This is a good time to publicly thank the playtesters, thanks.
We have also created a whole set of videos to show players what the "story" is, too.
