What to Expect
You represent an estate in the kingdom of Tundra, develop land, gather resources and compete for favor. The game plays over four rounds; the first player's dice rolls set available actions each round. You place workers (using dice workers), gather resources, build towers, hire advisors at the market and pursue common and personal goals to score points.
Who Is This Game For?
A game for enthusiasts who enjoy 60-minute strategy games with moderate complexity. Recommended for ages 10+, for 2–4 players. Good for groups that like worker placement combined with market dynamics and dice variability.
How It Works
Central mechanics are Worker Placement and Dice Rolling: at the start of each round the start player rolls dice which determine action values for everyone. Players use those values to assign workers (including Worker Placement with Dice Workers), move in areas, acquire items at the Market and collect resources. Over four rounds players convert these actions into victory points via buildings, advisors and goal fulfillment.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Luc Rémond and David Simiand, Tundra pairs classic worker distribution with a shared dice-driven action system and a market mechanic. The fixed four-round structure focuses planning, while the start-player dice roll shapes the available tactics. The game is listed among upcoming releases and uses an anthropomorphic-animal theme.
Pro
- Blend of worker placement and dice workers creates tactical decisions
- Market offers tactical flexibility for acquiring advisors and structures
- Four-round format gives a clear planning horizon
- Suitable for 2–4 players and ages 10+
Contra
- Dice rolls by the start player shape options for all, adding luck

Setting & atmosphere
Set in the fictional kingdom of Tundra, anthropomorphic animals act as estate representatives vying for societal and Tsarist favor. The theme supports economic and territorial gameplay.

Focus early on achievable goals and use the market to broaden your options; keep the four-round horizon in mind when planning.
