You start off by creating your own deck of cards from those made available in the box. How the game actually looked like during one of my playthroughs Being a casual Chess and TCG player, I can personally testify to that statement. Not that you have to be pros either but it makes the learning process smoother. Now you do not have to have played any in order to play Eternal Kings but it definitely helps. This should be taken quite literally as in this game, you still have a checkerboard and beat the opponent's King in order to win but instead of pieces, you play with cards. Think Yu-Gi-Oh! or Magic the Gathering with a Chess twist, or vice versa. It borrows some features of the age-old board game Chess and others from trading card games (TCG) to give an amalgam that is a totally new experience that nevertheless feels familiar. Now, enough of me rambling and let’s delve into what it is all about! What is Eternal Kings?Įternal Kings is a new 1v1 boardgame that is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter.


It has been an endeavor of mine to review a board game for quite some time now and they were the first to provide me with the opportunity. I would like to extend my thanks to the whole Eternal Kings team, in particular Rolando Issa, the game’s creator and Nicole, EK’s PR spokesperson, to have given me the opportunity to review this board game. Meet Eternal Kings a newcomer in the board game scene. To that end, I have done reviews of not only video games and consoles but also gaming headsets, gaming keyboards and even video game soundtracks! Continuing in that trend, I bring to your attention today another hardware format that is quite popular among gamers but one that has received little attention on GBAtemp: board games. As such newcomers and old timers among the video game community might not be exposed to the whole spectrum. This arises from my belief that video game culture, one that we all share on GBAtemp, spans beyond more than just video games. During my time as a reporter for GBAtemp, I have made it a personal mission of mine to bring more than just video games to your attention, readers.
