Step into the shoes of a blacksmith in Ravenshire and compete for the prestigious title of Forgemaster! Grab your hammer and steel, it's time to start forging. The Blacksmiths Guild of Ravenshire is on the hunt for a new Forgemaster, and you'll be going head - to - head with other smiths to earn the most money and claim the title. This game is played over 4 seasons or rounds. Each season begins with a gathering phase. Here, players acquire contracts, recruit guild members, and gather resources. Roll your dice workers and place them on available locations to collect resources. You can even retrieve different dice workers to get more resources. But remember, these workers belong to different guilds, and retrieving them activates the guilds you've invested in. All players take turns placing and retrieving workers 3 times. After the gathering phase comes the production phase. Use your 3 dice workers to place them in different areas of your forge. This helps you gather more resources, make charcoal or steel, and forge contracts to earn money. At the end of each season, check if you've earned any special titles. Titles bring both prestige and well - earned money. Finally, roll your 3 dice workers again to prepare Ravenshire for the next season. This game is suitable for 1 - 4 players, takes 50 - 100 minutes to play, and is for ages 12 and up. It features contracts, dice rolling, end - game bonuses, a solo/solitaire mode, and a progressive turn order. The themes include dice, fantasy, and industry/manufacturing.
