Releases December 28, 2022

Dice Kingdoms of Valeria is a roll-and-write game designed by Levi Mote. On your turn you’ll roll six dice—two dice will activate the citizens for all players simultaneously, but the other four dice are just for you. Will you hire citizens to patronize the guilds and fill up your treasury so that you can gain scoring options (yellow die)? Will you slay monsters for glory and rewards (red die)? Or, will you build roads to Domains that give you citizens, gold, monsters, and dice manipulation powers (green die)? Then consider how much Magic you have to make everything that much better (blue die).

Publisher: Daily Magic Games
Item Code: DMGDKOV003
MSRP: $15
Releases December 28, 2022

Winter is not coming…it’s here! Snow is on the ground, the streets are iced over, the canals are getting sluggish, and the barmaid at the Cask & Trotter is offering to warm up your cold brew; things change in the winter. The knights on the wall have fewer goblins to repel, the guilds reorganize their membership lists, the monster-kin hunker down in their dens for the long winter nights and it sure ain’t easy finding the trailheads to their lairs. Yes-sir-eee, it’s like a whole different world, out there!

When you’re ready for a new challenge playing Dice Kingdoms of Valeria, check out the Winter Expansion. This pack contains two winter-themed 50-sheet pads to use instead of the base-game sheets, and there’s a set of rules on the back of the cover sheet explaining the differences you’ll encounter.

Siege of Valeria

Do you have what it takes to defend Valeria? For more than a month, the monster-kin have surrounded your fortress at Valeria’s southern border with hordes of monsters and mighty engines of war. Your supplies are nearly exhausted, but you’ve rallied your soldiers and holy troops to meet the foe’s latest surge. If you cannot break the siege in seven days, your fortress will fall and the southern border will crumble.

Thrones of Valeria

If you like trick-taking games, you will love this one. In Thrones of Valeria, cards you play have powers, the rank of suits fluctuates, and winning a trick can actually be damaging depending on timing! Long ago, when Valeria was a fledgling realm, the five great houses were constantly bickering, stealing, conspiring, and even assassinating each other for the chance to become the wealthiest and most powerful house, allowing one to rise to the throne of the land…temporarily. The game that evolved from their power struggles has thrived among the common people looking for a taste of the antics of the nobility and is now the sort of game travelers play in taverns, for fun and money.

Undaunted: Stalingrad is a monumental standalone game that expands the series’s scope and challenge beyond anything that’s come before. Featuring more than 300 unique illustrations by Roland MacDonald and 150 evocative mission briefings written by acclaimed author Robbie MacNiven, immerse yourself in this campaign at the heart of the war.
