Forge Your Own Mercenary Company

Ruinwatch – The Twelve Kin is a cooperative fantasy adventure game for 1–4 players, combining tactical combat, light deck-building, role-playing elements, and legacy-style progression.

Each player creates a unique mercenary by choosing one of 12 races and 12 classes, offering 144 possible combinations. Every race brings its own distinctive trait, while each class offers unique abilities and ways to play. Experiment with different combinations, discover powerful synergies, and build a mercenary company that suits your playstyle.

Four Campaigns. One Greater Story.

Your adventures unfold across four campaign envelopes, each containing its own storyline, challenges, unexpected twists, and unlockable rewards.

Choose which campaign to tackle first. Each tells a self-contained story, allowing you to experience them in any order, while gradually revealing pieces of a much greater narrative.

At the beginning of each campaign, you form a new company of mercenaries, starting your journey at the Rusted Lantern Inn. As your story unfolds, your characters grow stronger, discover new equipment, and develop their abilities.

Ruinwatch – The Twelve Kin

Twelve races. Twelve classes. Countless adventures.

Long ago, the Great White City stood as the proud home of the ancient races. But in the aftermath of a devastating war, its gates opened to refugees from every corner of the realm. Once a symbol of ancient power, it became a sanctuary b5for all who sought shelter. Today, it is known as the Great City of the Twelve Kin, where different peoples live side by side, and countless stories begin.

Among its crowded streets and bustling taverns stands the Rusted Lantern Inn, a gathering place for mercenaries, adventurers, and those seeking fortune. Here, between jobs and over mugs of ale, new bands of unlikely heroes come together, waiting for their next adventure.

Every Adventure Plays Differently

Each scenario challenges your company to fight dangerous enemies, rescue those in need, uncover hidden treasures, or escape deadly situations before time runs out.

Combat revolves around card-driven abilities, tactical positioning, and dice-based attacks. Draw cards, choose how to use your abilities, and work together to overcome the challenges ahead. As your mercenaries progress, you strengthen and customize their decks, creating new strategies and combinations.

Random events introduce unexpected challenges and opportunities, ensuring that even familiar scenarios can unfold in surprising ways.

Your Adventure Doesn't End with the Story

Once you've completed the four campaigns, the world of Ruinwatch remains yours to explore.

The game's double-sided modular hexagonal terrain plates allow you to create your own battlefields, scenarios, and entire campaigns. Build new adventures, challenge your friends, and experiment with the enormous variety of race and class combinations.

Will you assemble the most powerful mercenary company, or simply the most unusual band of adventurers the Twelve Kin has ever seen?

The stories may end, but the adventures are yours to continue.
