A board game of exploration, heroes & app-assisted battles

Kaladorn

The Four Chronicles

Four peoples share a planet with two suns, a ringed moon and six black-diamond obelisks that once nearly destroyed it. Lead your race’s heroes across a hand-painted map, build a capital, and let a companion app settle every battle and tell its story.

Enter the realm

Kaladorn: The Four Chronicles cover art. An elf on a unicorn, a blue-skinned Sirian mage with a glowing staff, a human lancer on horseback and a reptilian druid with an eagle stand before a black obelisk under two suns. — **Four heroes, one obelisk**An Elfian, a Sirian, a Human and a Reptilian under Kaladorn’s two suns.

What is Kaladorn?

A real table, real miniatures, and a phone that does the maths

Kaladorn is a full physical board game. Your heroes stand on the map as metal knights, your realm lives in a Player’s Book with sliders and magnetic cards, and time moves as a golden sun travels around the board. The app only steps in where paper gets slow: battles, quests and timed events.

Explore a living map

A 66 × 96 cm board of deserts, swamps, lava rivers and frozen north. Terrain changes how armies fight: cavalry bogs down in swamps, archers rule the mountains.

Lead heroes, build a realm

Recruit heroes, found a capital, raise buildings and research inventions from alchemy to trebuchets. Every choice moves a slider in your Player’s Book.

Battles settled by AI

Tell the app who is fighting and where. It works out the result, the losses and the glory, then writes a short saga of the battle you can read or listen to.

The Kaladorn main board on a wooden table, with flag-bearing miniatures in pink, blue, green and red spread across deserts, lakes and a glowing lava river, and a golden sun token on the border track. — The main board in play. Coloured flags mark each race’s territory; the golden sun on the border track marks the day.

The World

Kaladorn, somewhere in the Sombrero Galaxy

An odd orbit gives Kaladorn a long cold year under one sun, broken by a few scorching days when both suns rise together.

Kaladorn seen from space: the board map on a globe, with the lava river and the frozen north, circled by dust rings under a large yellow sun and a small red sun.

Long ago its moon was struck by an asteroid. The debris settled into rings that still cross the sky. Scattered over the surface stand six obelisks of black diamond with cores of unknown metal. They are 500 to 600 feet tall, and below ground they may reach all the way to the planet’s heart.

The obelisks heal the sick and give druids and shamans strange powers. They are also the reason the world nearly ended.

The old age

Two ancient races

Elfians live on the surface, Reptilians mostly underground. Neither knows much about the other.

The awakening

All six obelisks lit

Chasing eternal life, the Elfians activate every obelisk at once. The magnetic field shifts and apocalyptic sandstorms follow.

Crash day

Jupiter-7b12 falls

Humans, generations adrift in space, follow Sirian coordinates to a new home. The landing, led by the mysterious Master Xi, ends in a crash in Moon’s Canyon.

The Four Chronicles

Four peoples, four chronicles. Alliances are fragile, the Great Zenith is coming, and the Sirians are said to be marching on the northern obelisk.

How it plays

One roll moves the sun

The active player rolls a die and moves the golden sun around the board’s border. Each square is a day, and the day decides what happens next.

Roll and move the sun
Move the golden sun as many days as you rolled.
Gather resources
Collect the gold, wood, stone and iron that day brings to your cities.
Draw events
Productivity cards, player events and, on marked days, global events such as a heatwave that slows every hero.
Move your heroes
Each hero moves as far as their stamina allows. Roads let them go twice as far.
Draw a hero card App
An ambush, a quest, a stranger with a riddle. Some cards send you to the app.
Build
Found a city where a hero stands, add buildings to your capital, or research inventions.

The time track

The border is wipe-clean. Players write reminders straight onto it, like the day an injured hero recovers or a temporary event ends.

App-assisted battles

No battle tables. Just tap Fight.

Battles in Kaladorn involve hundreds of soldiers, terrain, hero skills and morale. Instead of making you add it all up, the companion app does it.

You enter Your hero, the opponent and the map tile you’re fighting on.
The AI weighs Every unit’s attack, defence, speed and range, the terrain, each hero’s strength and how likely troops are to panic and flee.
You get The winner, the exact units to remove from your board, experience, fame and loot, and a short saga of how it happened.

A battle can end in one of these ways:

Victory
Defeat
Retreat
Hero injured
Hero captured
Hero slain

Heroes

Heroes who carry their names into legend

Each hero is a metal knight on the map and a card in your Hero Board, with their face on a magnetic token you clip onto the knight’s shield. They gain experience, collect artefacts, get injured, get captured, and earn a reputation.
