A revolution has risen in a peaceful country ruled by four clans. Players are divided into revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, and battle for the survival of the country. Four forts between them, whoever controls them controls the battle. Sometimes it is important to withdraw from a battle. When you withdraw, take advantage of the battlefield by looting the treasure left behind in the fort. The battle that decides the fate of both sides has begun! Four Clans Conflict is a two-player trick-taking game.
Four Clans Conflict supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Four Clans Conflict is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Four Clans Conflict for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
