GOLDblivion is a board game released in 2023 for 1–4 players, 20–80 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Jean-François Gauthier and its main mechanics are Income, Solo / Solitaire Game, and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
Build a colony and conquer territories in a medieval-fantasy gold rush! With a gameplay centered around double-deck-building, be the first to get 10 gold ingots to be crowned King/Queen of GOLDblivion! In GOLDblivion, you have two decks of cards to manage: one for combat and one for development. Every turn starts by removing a card from your hand. This card is placed under a chosen section of your player board and will give a precious resource all game long! This process will also naturally clean your deck from bad cards. Combat is made by conquering territories represented by hexagonal tiles. The number of free spaces around a tile is the number of cards you draw from your combat deck to defeat the enemy under this territory. They get increasingly stronger and are more rewarding too! Based on the ever-changing cards in the market, develop a long-term strategy and find the best combinations between Elf, Dwarf, Human and Building cards to maximize your gold and be crowned King/Queen of GOLDblivion!
GOLDblivion supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for GOLDblivion is 20–80 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists GOLDblivion for ages 12 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.
GOLDblivion has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
