HiLo: Dein Königreich is a board game released in 2025 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Jérôme Soleil and Emilie Soleil and its main mechanics are Set Collection.
Each player starts with 12 hidden cards: 2 rows with 6 cards each and tries to get the best open display. At the start, each player already chooses one of his cards in the display and turns them to the open side. Now all players play alternately. In his turn, a player can choose a card from the open discard pile and put it open in its display, the replaced card is placed on the discard pile. Alternatively, the player can pull a card from the hidden pile and put it as mentioned or discard it. In the latter case, however, one of the own cards has to be revealed. The game ends immediately as soon as a player has all his cards open. Points are now obtained from the printed card symbols. There is one point for two neighboring half coins each, here the position of the cards is important. There are also cards that score points for collecting other cards. In addition to the scoring cards, there are also a few cards with special effects.
HiLo: Dein Königreich supports 2–4 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 HiLo: Dein Königreich is 15 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 HiLo: Dein Königreich for ages 6 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.
