Come Play: Rurik: Dawn of Kiev

Paraphrased from BGG:

Rurik: Dawn of Kiev is a euro-style realm building game set in an 11th century Eastern European Kingdom. It features area control, resource management, and a unique mechanic, "auction programming."

You play as a potential successor to the throne following the death of your father, Vladimir the Great, in 1015. You must establish your legacy by building, taxing, fighting, and accomplishing great deeds. Will you win over the hearts of the people to become the next ruler of Kyivan Rus?

The "auction programming" mechanism in Rurik allows players to openly bid for actions with their advisors. Stronger advisors earn greater benefits at the cost of performing their actions later than other players. Conversely, weaker advisors earn fewer benefits but perform their actions earlier.

We have one copy of the game, which plays up to 4 people. If you’re able to bring a copy, let us know. If we have more than four players interested and no additional copies, we’ll have other excellent games ready to go.
