Hey hey BATT Family! Today Mark is going to dive very heavily into Kingsburg 3rd edition. This is a review of the game as a whole and a comparison of the various editions of the game. The various aspects of all three will be discussed so if you're a long time fan of the game or a new player, you'll be able to find something here. Kingsburg is a dice worker placement, resource management game that has high modularity through it's various expansion modules (mostly built into the box) and plays from two to five players in about forty-five to seventy-five minutes depending on player count.

As a heads up, if you've played the game before, you can skip right into the Artwork / Components / Iconography section because literally none of the rules have changed at all from the prior editions.

We hope you enjoy the review and Kingsburg itself! Feel free to hit us up on any of our regular contact methods to let us know what your opinions are on Kingsburg!

Notes!

1) Apologies for the audio buzz on this episode. When I was recording it, we were trying some things out with new mics and in my standard recording cans I didn't hear it. I'm hoping it doesn't come through for regular listeners, but I was hearing it in my more sensitive editing cans. I've since replaced the speakers that caused that issue though, so that shouldn't recur.

2) If you do know about those scenario cards in 2nd edition, let me know what's going on with them. I'm happy I've got them certainly, but it's just baffling I can't seem to find much information about them.
