The Throne Can Be Yours in Emblems, Our August Game of the Month

A kingdom without a King? The throne can be yours...if you’re clever enough.

The kingdom has fallen into uncertainty. With no heir to claim the crown, five noble families compete for control of the realm’s most influential locations: the Castle, the Village, and the Port.

Power isn’t always won on the battlefields. Sometimes, it’s earned through careful planning, clever strategy, and well-timed betrayals. That’s exactly what awaits you in Emblems, our August Game of the Month! Designed by Adrian Bonnard and Romaric Galonnier, this fast-paced card game delivers an experience that keeps players coming back to see who gets the throne again.

 

Each player commands one of these ambitious families, choosing representatives and deploying them strategically across the kingdom. Every placement is a gamble; will your character secure valuable influence, or will an opponent’s perfectly timed move steal victory from under your nose? If you control the right locations and collect the most coins, your family may be the one that ascends to the throne. 

Inside the compact, travel-friendly box you'll find: 75 Character Cards (15 for each family), 9 double-sided Location Cards, 96 Coin Tokens, First Player Pawn  and an Instruction Manual. 

Emblems is designed for 3-5 players, ages 10 and up, each game lasting a quick 15-30 minutes, making it ideal for a weeknight game or fun family gathering activity! Sometimes the quickest path to the throne isn’t through strength, it’s through strategy/ How far will you go to lead your family to glory? Find a copy only at Barnes & Noble today.
