About the game
Bruised and battered, you ascend up to the entrance into the Black Mountains from whence you came. You managed to collect all three Shards of Brahm and break the curse cast upon the clerics of the Red Cloth. Now your adventure truly begins. You must travel to the far city of Oakinshelm to relay the news to the Baron that there is a traitor in his ranks and to get some well earned rest. This Journey will not lack agony. You will have to make your way through dark forests, harsh mountains, across unpredictable waters, and try to avoid the vile deadlands. You have seven days to make this journey to Oakinshelm, or die trying... Tin Realm takes place moments after Tin Helm. You may even use all of the characters, loot, trappings, and enemies from Tin Helm in Tin Realm! The reverse is also true. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Tin Realm supports 1 player 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 Tin Realm is 30 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 Tin Realm 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.
Tin Realm has a complexity rating of 1.7 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.
Tin Realm belongs to these categories: Card Game, Fantasy, and Adventure. Its main mechanics are Push Your Luck, Dice Rolling, and Solo / Solitaire Game.
