Ninelands
Every map a puzzle
Nine lands, mountains with ore, moors with herbs, lakes and a law that changes the rules. Earn up to three stars per map, play the map of the day, compare with your friends and watch the day's best game.
Ninelands
Found a realm on a board of nine lands.
A calm pixel strategy game: place your castle, knights, farmers and bishops, claim land and gather gold. Every map is a small puzzle – play alone, march through three campaigns or duel a friend.

What you will find
Three campaigns
104 stations through the kingdom, with the orc horde and with the pirates – each with its own story, bandit camps and fog of war.
Duels
Challenge a friend with a link, join quick play or face the computer on three levels. Rule more lands than your rival – strong pieces can take land away, and the second player gets a small head start.
A long road to the crown
Every star earns renown: rise from Squire to High King, unlock banners and board themes, chase 38 achievements, take the challenge of the week, earn festival rewards at Halloween, Winterfest and Easter – and see how far your conquest run goes.
Your realm, your look
Unlock 19 profile pictures through play, pick one of 4 team colours and lead the orc horde or the pirates.
