Tres Reinos is a board game released in 2023 for 3–5 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Javier Martínez Gómez and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
Tres Reinos ("Three Kingdoms") is a trick-taking game in which players often will have to team up with other players to reach victory. In each round, starting with the opening player, each player will first play one of their cards and then decide whether or not to draw a mercenary card to join their force. When everyone has done so, check to see which faction has the most power, as in this trick-taking game it is not the highest card that wins, but the faction. Once checked, whoever has the most powerfull within that faction will first choose one of the two rewards available during this round. At the end of the game the points are counted taking into account the conquered kingdom cards with their modifiers, the personal kingdom card with its own bonuses and penalties. The winner is the one with the most points. Tres Reinos is a trick-taking game, in which players will have to know when to be opportunistic and when it is not in their interest to win a trick.
Tres Reinos supports 3–5 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 Tres Reinos is 15–30 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 Tres Reinos for ages 8 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.
Tres Reinos has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
