What is The Black Rider

The Black Rider is a story-driven journey set on a fixed map with pre-printed terrain. It introduces secret objectives, asymmetric characters, and event-driven gameplay, while a mysterious rider roams the land—displacing meeples and disrupting scoring wherever he passes.

What’s New in This Module?

Fixed Map Gameplay: Instead of building the landscape tile by tile, players place tiles only on predetermined open spaces on a beautifully illustrated map of medieval France. Space is limited—every move matters.

Asymmetric Characters with Secret Goals: Each player assumes the role of a unique character, such as Mette the Farmer-Queen or Ser Dorian the Merchant. Every character has a backstory and a hidden personal goal that rewards points if completed by game’s end.
