Crokinole Imperium – Three New Ways to Play
Think you’ve mastered Crokinole? It’s time to shake things up!
Crokinole Imperium adds a whole new layer of strategy, surprises, and friendly competition to the classic game. Inspired by medieval kingdoms and Latin traditions, this card game introduces secret objectives, special abilities, and changing rules that keep every round interesting.
With three unique game modes that can be played separately or combined, Crokinole Imperium gives experienced players new challenges while adding fresh excitement to family game nights.
Sub Rosa – Secret Missions
Latin for “under the rose,” Sub Rosa is a historical expression associated with secrecy and confidentiality.
Each player receives a secret mission card at the beginning of the round. Your challenge is to complete the objective using the buttons in play without revealing your plans to your opponents.
How scoring works: Successfully complete your secret mission to earn 1 point. The winner of the round also earns 1 point, or 1 point per player in the event of a tie.
Free Lances – Special Abilities
Inspired by medieval mercenaries who served no particular lord, Free Lances introduces special abilities that can change the outcome of a round.
Each player receives a card granting a unique ability. When the appropriate opportunity arises, reveal your card and activate its effect to gain an advantage.
How scoring works: The winner of the round earns 2 points. In the event of a tie, each tied player receives 1 point.
Terra Nova – Changing the Rules
Meaning “New Land” in Latin, Terra Nova introduces unexpected challenges that affect everyone at the board.
At the beginning of each round, draw one Terra Nova card. Its special rule applies to all players, changing the way the round unfolds.
You’ll need to adapt your strategy, overcome new obstacles, and sometimes turn those challenges to your advantage.
How scoring works: The winner earns 2 points, while tied players receive 1 point each.
Mix and Match for Even More Variety
Each of the three game modes can be enjoyed on its own, or you can combine them to create an even more unpredictable Crokinole experience.
Whether you’re looking to challenge experienced players or bring something different to your next game night, Crokinole Imperium offers plenty of ways to keep the competition fresh.
