Iberia: Kings and Emirs

What is Iberia: Kings and Emirs

Welcome to 12th century Iberia! In this historical 2-4 player game, take on the role of a king or an emir and compete to build the greatest kingdom on the peninsula through territory expansion, constructing buildings and wonders, and by attracting a diverse court. As you expand and grow your kingdom, the population faiths of your kingdom will change depending on the lands you conquer, the buildings you build, and the cards you play. Be sure to maintain balance between the faiths of your kingdom and your king or emir's political stance or suffer the consequences through lost income or victory points.

To play Iberia, a player's turn takes place over four steps.

Step 1, players collect maravedi coins (income).

Step 2, players use their maravedi to take actions. Some of these actions include, constructing buildings and wonders, training soldiers, building castles, reforming politics, or upgrading mobility. During this step players may also play, and gain the benefits of, any courtier cards they have acquired.
