Grab your friends and build the best Fort! But remember: kids you don’t play with just might wander to somebody else’s yard.

What Is Fort?

Fort is a deck-building game for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, and takes about 20 to 40 minutes to play. It is currently available for pre-order from Leder Games for $30 (plus shipping), with an expected retail release date of August 25. (I’ll note that the gameplay will be a bit longer when you’re still learning the game, but 20–40 minutes seems reasonable for players who no longer need to consult the player aid for the various action icons. Currently my 2-player games still take about 30 minutes.)

Fort was designed by Grant Rodiek (and originally self-published in a different form as SPQF). It was developed by Nick Brachmann for Leder Games, with illustrations by Kyle Ferrin.

Fort Components

Here’s what comes in the box:

  • Victory Track board
  • 4 player boards
  • 4 Score markers
  • 4 Fort markers
  • 30 Pizza tokens
  • 30 Toy tokens
