Quick Answer
To play with the Paladins: City of Crowns expansion, integrate the new board extensions, manage the new attribute, and use the new actions on each turn. Follow the setup steps below to get started.
What the Expansion Adds
The Paladins: City of Crowns expansion extends both the main board and your player boards, giving you more space and new strategic options. You'll manage an additional attribute and have new actions available each turn, which can change your priorities and planning.
Because the expansion adds complexity, it's best suited for players already comfortable with the base game. If you're new to Paladins, consider playing a few rounds without the expansion first.
How the New Attribute Works
The new attribute is a resource you'll need to track alongside your other resources. It can be gained or spent through the new actions, and managing it efficiently is key to maximizing your turns.
Keep an eye on your attribute level—it can unlock powerful effects but may also limit your options if you neglect it.
Step-by-Step Setup and Play Guide
- Set Up the Board Extensions: Attach the new extensions to the main board and each player board as indicated in the expansion rulebook. Make sure they fit snugly to avoid shifting during play. Check that all extensions are aligned correctly before starting.
- Add the New Attribute Tracker: Place the new attribute tracker on your player board and set it to the starting value shown in the rules. This will be your reference for the new resource. Remember to update the tracker every time you gain or spend the attribute.
- Review the New Actions: Look over the new action options available on your player board and the main board. Understand what each action does and what resources or attribute costs they require. Practice a mock turn to see how the new actions interact with your usual strategy.
- Integrate New Cards and Components: Shuffle any new cards into the appropriate decks and place any new tokens or components where the rules indicate. Ensure you know what each new component represents. Sort components by type to speed up setup and avoid confusion.
- Play a Few Turns to Learn the Flow: Start a game and play a few turns, focusing on how the new attribute and actions affect your decisions. Don't worry about winning—use these turns to get comfortable with the new mechanics. If you make a mistake, just backtrack and continue; it's part of learning.
