This game is for adults and kids! We designed Yeld so children could learn and play it, but also so that adults could enjoy it. In fact, as adults its our favorite game to play!
Yeld's basic rules, story, and mechanics are designed to be easy to understand, fun, encourage working together to solve conflicts, tell stories and win battles. Yeld is easy to learn, but has lots to master!
Players as young as 10-12 should be able to start playing Yeld on their own, and kids as young as 8 may enjoy the game with their parents or older friends. We think Yeld is great for families that include both young and older players. And of course, adults can enjoy the game on their own.
While Yeld can be light hearted and goofy, it can also include some dark themes. Fights are a part of most Yeld adventures, and while most fights can be resolved without violence, violence is always an option. The young characters carry weapons and learn to protect themselves and others. Violence always comes at a cost, and the characters will always face consequences for their actions. While we think Yeld is appropriate for kids, we also think parents should check it out and decide for themselves.
Where can I buy Yeld?
Yeld: 2nd Edition and the rest of our products are available right here on our site! You can also purchase Yeld from your local game store. If they don't stock it, ask them to order from our distributor Indie Press Revolution!
Yeld is played with normal 6-sided dice! We suggest having 5-10 dice available for play.
Yeld also uses an 8 by 8 grid for figthts that we call the Action Board. We sell a nice Action Board, but you can also use a normal chess board or draw a grid on paper. You'll want some tokens, miniatures or Legos to represent your characters and monsters!
