What path to victory will you pursue to become the Grand Prince of Kiev?
What Is Rurik: Dawn of Kiev?
Rurik: Dawn of Kiev is a mid-weight euro-style game about the power struggle in 11th Century Kievan Rus for 1–4 players, ages 13 and up. It’s advertised to take 30 minutes per player, and for once, the play time on a game box is accurate! It’s designed by Stanislav Kordonskiy, and was originally funded in a Kickstarter campaign in July 2018, before shipping to backers this fall and becoming available at stores. The game retails for $89.99, and at the time of this writing both the retail version and the Kickstarter version are available in PieceKeeper Games’ online store. I was sent the Kickstarter version to review, along with the neoprene playmat and metal coins, which were add-ons available during the campaign but are still available to purchase in limited quantities.
