A Fantasy Board Game of Strategy, Companions, and Combat
2–6 Players. Modular boards. Randomized Roles. No two games the same.
Production Update: Manufacturing Setback
December 15, 2025
Unfortunately, our manufacturer has encountered another setback. Because our game is primarily card-based (over 750 cards per box) it places significant wear on the equipment, and the machine responsible for printing the cards has failed again.
This has set us back a few additional weeks while a higher-quality replacement is shipped, installed, and brought fully online.
To avoid the increased costs of moving production overseas or switching to a different manufacturer, especially during the holiday season, we’ve made the difficult decision to wait. While this does mean that most copies will not arrive until after Christmas, it remains the most responsible and viable option while we ensure the cards are produced properly.
I will share another update as soon as we have a firm timeline and production is officially underway. We have faith that Sagaverse Studios (our manufacturer) is doing the most they can in the meantime to prepare everything else that they can.
My deepest apologies for the delay, and thank you sincerely for your patience and understanding while we work out the final details.

It’s Official! Production Is Underway!
Sagaverse Studios has been hard at work, bringing Role to Reign to life! Production is officially underway and coming together fast.
(Nov 6, 2025) — A quick update: some of the card-making equipment has failed, and replacement parts are on the way. While this may cause a slight delay, all game pieces have been printed, boxes are in production, and the card holders and dice are ready! We’re optimistic about beginning shipments this month, starting one copy at a time — in order of backer and reward tier.
Minis are being mass produced, the 30 board pieces are being laminated and cut, and cards are printing in bulk. It has been incredible seeing it all come to life, and we wanted to share a few pictures from the process.
Our biggest surprise so far:
All 18 playable characters will now have their own minis! That means 18 races, 18 classes, 44 weapons (22 sets), 20 armor sets (80 cards), 50 unique mounts, and 70 companions, each adding new options, combinations, and advantages to every game.
The world of Role to Reign is becoming real, and it’s looking amazing. Here are a couple pictures straight from production.

Adapt. Strategize. Rule.
What is Role to Reign?
A tactical fantasy board game for 2–6 players, where every match plays out differently. Modular maps, randomized characters, and dynamic events create a new story each time.
No scripts. No routines. Just strategy, risk-taking, and your will to survive.
No Map Ever the Same.
The board is built from modular hex tiles, shuffled and reshaped each campaign. Cities, terrain, and events will never be in the same place twice!
Character Creation – No Picking Favorites! (Most of the time).
You start by drawing your initial Role : a mix of race, class, and weapon, from a pool of 6 races, 12 classes, and 24 weapons (over 1,700 combinations).
Your Race and Class give you two starting abilities. A third ability unlocks when you find the matching weapon for the set.

Master your Character.
As the game unfolds, you'll collect loot, earn, or trade for gear suited to your unique role.
Obtain more abilities and stats from armor sets, companions and mounts that you buy at the stable icon on the board.
Conquer Cities and upgrade them for permanent benefits, attack towers for immediate rewards, or gamble your resources at Beacon and Anvil locations for powerful effects.
Defeat other players in a specialized attack/defense PvP to steal some of their items, gold, or ignore them entirely and destroy and take over their cities and strongholds instead.
Win YOUR Way.
Choose from multiple paths to victory:
- Control all 6 Strongholds
- Conquer all 12 cities — alone or with an ally
- Earn 2500 gold through trade, conquest, or theft
- Complete major quests and earn 18 Quest Points
- Defeat your opponents — eliminate them 6 times to win by survival, or wait for them to kill each other.
Watch the game evolve through endless playtesting and multiple Board game Cons!
The map changes. Your role is uncertain. How will your story unfold?

Role to Reign: where your Role is drawn, and every map is new.
Build a New Character Every Time
No two games start the same. Has that been mentioned? You draw your Role from the start, making character role creation fast, exciting, and full of surprises.
Whether you are a veteran strategist or a first-time board game player, enjoy the thrill of your own story as you play without the stress of overly complex rulebooks or rigid systems. It is easy to learn, quick to set up, and endlessly fun.
Dynamic, Ever-Changing World
The map changes every game, shaped by how you want to play — quick and a small map or long campaign, where you travel the full game board.
Despite the depth, everything is designed to be simple to manage, letting you focus on the action and playing with friends, not bookkeeping.
