Rebirth (Second Edition)

Following a series of calamities that left civilization in shambles, societies around the world are being rebuilt anew in harmony with nature. Scotland lies in ruins and the ancient clans have taken it upon themselves to restore the land. As clan leaders you will compete for strategic control of the land by rebuilding its prestigious castles.

Rebirth is a new tile-laying game from Reiner Knizia. The game revitalizes this classic genre by combining Knizia’s elegant mechanics with Mighty Boards’ evocative world building. The result is a eurogame with smooth gameplay, set in a lush and hopeful future.

Each turn, players draw a tile from their supply and place it strategically on the board. These tiles represent your clan’s contribution to rebuilding the land. Rebirth rewards strategic foresight and clever tactical play, with tougher decisions emerging over the course of the game.

What's New for Rebirth

The International English Edition includes a series of subtle refinements designed to improve usability, durability, and production efficiency:

• The Castles have been reduced in size by about 20%. The game now also includes 12 not 14 castles (as you never need 14 Castles to play).
• The Cathedral tokens are reduced in size by about 16%.
• The box is tweaked in size slightly to fit an existing box tool and to better optimise freight (5mm reduction in depth).
• The Game Board is 10% smaller. We felt the board was a little too big in the original version. This makes the game fit more tables with no reduction in visibility.
• The cardboard receives an upgrade in its lamination to increase durability.
• 4 additional zip-lock bags are included for easier storage.
• The castle shaped player punch-outs will be removed. These were only added as we had free space on the old punchboard. The punchboard layouts have been optimized to reduce costs.
