Have you ever wanted to own your own board game, all along with houses, hotels, interesting tiles to step on, and other players that can come to your board and play on it a bit? Well, Board Kings does all that, and more.
The game lets you build your own board game, expand it by adding more tiles, build and upgrade house tiles in order to get more coins by stepping on one, and visit other player boards to get huge rewards, destroy their buildings, and steal their money! What’s not to like?
Now, the game starts slow, with you having a small board with just a dozen or so tiles. By throwing dice you’ll earn coins for stepping onto every tile, with special buildings (bank, rail station, police station, and gem bank) giving you special bonuses. For instance, stepping on the police station will send a police car and place it on a random tile, thus locking every player (other than you of course) who’s luck turns on them and land them on the tile with the police car.
The bank gives you huge coin bonuses for stepping on it, while the rail station drives you to another player’s board. Stepping on the gem bank will give you a couple of gems as a bonus. There’s also a card tile (like in Monopoly), which gives you special prizes when stepped onto.
Now, Board Kings is a relatively easy game to play, right? You roll dice, travel through the board, collecting money and bunnies (bunnies are needed for most upgrades) and expand and upgrade your board with coins earned. But, Board Kings hides some of its mechanics, making players to lose money, chose expensive upgrades, and spend unnecessary real money. We played the game for hours and hours, found some tricks that can push you forward through the game, making it easier to play, and collected them all in this guide. Stay with us and find out how to build a huge board empire!
1. Improve Cheaper Tiles First
Most tiles featured on the board are without bonuses. Once stepped on, they give you a certain amount of coins. They are shown as houses, and every single one of them can be upgraded.
Now, although some ask more coins for an upgrade, they all give you the same amount of coins. For instance, upgrading normal tiles to level 2 will grant five additional coins for stepping onto the tile. So, upgrade cheaper tiles first, and only after all the cheap ones are upgraded proceed with upgrading the rest.
This way, you’ll earn more coins since there will be more upgraded tiles on the board, and will, on the long run, upgrade all normal tiles faster. Remember, these regular tiles can be upgraded indefinitely and higher levels will ask for gems. So, once you notice that regular tiles ask for gems in order to be upgraded, finish leveling up other tiles (the ones that ask only for coins) before leveling up gem-hungry tiles.
2. It’s Better To Wait For Your Rolls To Completely Refill Before Playing The Game
When you start Board Kings, you’ll get a certain amount of freerolls. After you spend them there are two options. You can either pay gems (which can be won by playing or bought for real money) for new rolls or you can wait for your rolls to refill.
Now, it is better to wait for your roll meter to completely fill (to get 30 rolls) than to have just a couple of rolls at your disposal. By waiting for the meter to fill up to the max you’ll be able to play longer, to earn more coins and to upgrade more house tiles. By playing just a couple of rolls (you get for every hour) you won’t earn – in most cases – enough coins for an upgrade, so there will be a surplus of coins on your board which can be stolen by other players.
The best strategy is to play all rolls, and then spend as many coins as you can so that your coin stash ends up being as humble as it can. That way, other players won’t find your board so interesting because they won’t be able to steal lots of coins from you. Since, aside from stealing your coins, other players can also destroy your buildings, having a tiny coin stash will make you less interesting for other players to visit your board. You’ll be left alone, and you won’t have to spend coins for repairing damaged buildings.
3. When Choosing Which Players To Invade, Select Those Who Have The Most Bunnies
Bunnies are collected the same way as coins – by stepping on houses. They can also be earned by upgrading your buildings, and finishing quests. The more bunnies a player has, the higher the chances are for that player to store lots of coins in their stash. So when choosing which player to invade, always pick the one with the biggest amount of bunnies collected.
4. Don’t Spend Money On The Vending Machine; It Can Only Give You New Playing Figures
In Board Kings, there are dozens upon dozens of new playing figures (called totems) to unlock. They won’t give you any bonus, nor will they grant you more coins for stepping on houses or onto a bank. You can unlock new figures by stepping onto the vending machine. The machine will give you free gifts from time to time, but in most cases, it will ask for 30 gems in order to give you a prize. Since prizes contain exclusively new figures, it’s better to not spend hard earned gems on them, and use the vending machine only if there’s an option for a free prize.
5. When Arrested, It’s Better To Pay The Fine Than To Spend Rolls For Trying To Roll Doubles
When you visit other player boards, you can get arrested by stepping on the tile occupied by a police car. You’ll end up getting arrested and the only way of getting free is to roll doubles. The game will give you an option to pay a certain amount of coins in order to get out of the prison.
Since rolling double is pretty hard, and for that, you’ll need a lot of rolls we recommend you to pay the coin fine instead of trying to roll doubles. The fines usually cost just a couple of hundred of coins, which you can earn again with just a few rolls. It’s certainly better than spending precious rolls in order to get a double.
6. Don’t Watch Ads, They Aren’t Worth Your Time
Board Kinks will offer you to watch ads in order to get additional rolls. Watching ads to get prizes is helpful in most other games offering the option since the prizes can be quite helpful. Sadly that’s not the case in Board Kings.
You see, the ads usually last half a minute, and the prize is just one additional roll! Watching a video ad for half a minute just to be able to roll dice one more time is a bad offer. Just don’t waste your time on ads, the prize is too humble. The only time this could help you is when you are a couple of hundreds of coins short to buy a house upgrade. Only then watching ads can do you any good, because with one roll you can earn up to a thousand coins.
So, if you need a couple of hundred of coins but you have left without rolls, watch an ad. In all other situations, refuse the offer.
7. Save Up Gems To Buy Extra Rolls
Gems are the luxurious in-game currency. They can be earned by stepping on the Gem bank, or won when visiting other player boards. They can also be bought for real money, and 80 gems will give you ten additional rolls. While this looks like a poor deal, sometimes it can be a life-saving offer.
Save up your gems and spend them to buy extra rolls only when you really need those rolls. For instance, you ran out of rolls, but have almost the exact number of coins needed for an upgrade. Or when you need just a few extra rolls in order to send a couple of more cop cars out before exiting the game.
Remember, this can be of huge help but use it only when really need to. This way you’ll be able to spend all of your coins before leaving the game, making your board less interesting for other players to invade it.
Thank you for reading our Board Kings Guide. We really hope it has been a helpful reading, and we hope you learned something that will aid you while you build a perfect game board.
The advice we provided you with in the guide will make the early game easier and will make other players to not invade your board as frequent as other player boards. Remember, do not spend gems on extra rolls and do not leave lots of coins in your stash before exiting the game, those two things are very important to remember. Thanks for reading and happy gaming!
How to upgrade tiles?
All my gold tiles disappeared about 3 boards ago and now they are just black tiles what happened ?
How to buy new party sale
When playing the game, you will see a arrow appear over the building you can upgrade. This arrow, from my experiences so far, will be green and purple, green or just purple. You click this arrow to arrow and then pay the fine. You can also click the green arrow in the bottom right hand corner to upgrade something. Hope this helps and makes sense.
What do the red cards mean that are slipped under certain tiles on my board, some with flags on some with smash box? Are they good or bad and can i get rid of them?
Those indicate which buildings are vulnerable to being destroyed, damaged or owned.
Helzsg, the red tile with the flag on it will allow you to own that building when you land on it. The owner of the board will have to land on it again in order to release it. The red tile with the explosion on it means you will damage the building when you land on it. The owner of the board will have to pay to repair it before it can be upgraded. Hope this helps!!
The red tiles allow other people who visit, an opportunity to buy property. This will reduce your happiness score and board income. To get rid of them, you must land on the tile to get the property back. The red bullseye, allows a player to damage your building and you’ll have to repair it. To repair a building, costs half of what it cost to upgrade it. But the BIA idol to reduce repairs costs to half of that. You can not get rid of the red flags or bullseye tiles.
The pink cards are ads you can choose to watch the ad and get the prize or not. I however take the time to watch the ad because I have won 30 extra rolls. So it is very helpful
When u take back a building that was owned my someone will it give lesser bunnies than the previous time the building had
How do you get your cop to stay on the board?
Your cops will stay on your board until another player lands on them and then the cop will jail the player and disappear
After a person is arrested, you lose that police car. Land on jail will send out a new one. Or you can add a cop for about 200 gems
What colour comes after the rainbow on the the pieces? And it’s getting harder to upgrade with the prices so high with a limit of 50 spins. What’s the point in upgrading the station and you gain nothing extra? Same with the bank?
Rainbow is as high as it gets and as for the upgrading there really isn’t a point to leveling up buildings after a certain point. Once you reach a high enough level you don’t really have a reason to keep playing which is kinda a shame
There’s a max roll count of 80 and 6 per hour now for me. No idea how I got it though.
How do you get my cops on the tiles
1 cop will be moved to a random tile when you land on the police tile until the maximum cops you can have. you can now reposition all of your cops to more vulnerable tiles for 80 gems.
I accidentally went into PLAY ONLY mode! How do I get back into my online game please?
Just log into your Facebook account
How can you expand the game board? And is it helpful to do so?
You expand the board size when all your bunnies are happy and you have done every possible upgrade. Then, this special bunny will come and ask for bricks that are scattered across the board. To collect these bricks, you need to land on the space with a brick. After you collect enough bricks, you will get a bigger board. Yes, you should expand your board because otherwise there is nothing to upgrade or do. Hope this helped you.
One of my buildings looks like a pile of bricks and the tiles looks smashed. There’s nothing to let me fix it and I e landed on it several times. My bunnies have an angry face and gives me -30%! How do I fix it??
Your Happiness level declines when people buy property and smash buildings. Buying idols that increase Happiness and placing them on the board, will make your rabbits happy again. Not sure why you can’t repair the building. Perhaps you have to have a certain happiness score to repair it. You don’t have to land on it to repair it. There should be a click able icon above it.
How do i take back a building taken over by another player
Land on the tile with the building
I hqve someone that owns 1 of my buildings. I landed on it yesterday & also again this morning. She STILL owns it. What do i do?
I have the same problem – have landed on it a few times and person still owns it
I have the same problem, I’ve landed on it at least 3 maybe 4 times. I’m not able to get it back at all, instead the banker keeps telling me took release all of my properties to level up. No clue how to fix it but it’s annoying.
I just got to a new board(heart shaped); & the same person still owns a building they owned from my 1st board?!? How can I reclaim it??? Ive landed on it, increased cash, gems, & happiness–I’m stumped?
How do u upgrade your board with the gold coins ?
Land on them
When I land in jail, the only “release “ I have is to spend gems… I thought we were supposed to have the choice of either paying a cash fine or rolling doubles? Also, I have the maximum amount of cops allowed, how do I reposition them?
Yes, the only options you have after being arrested is paying the fine with gems or going home. I’m not sure where they got rolling doubles from. You can’t reposition cops.
In a previous version of the game you had to either roll doubles or pay a cash fine to escape the cops on another person’s board.
Same thing with repositioning your cops. On a previous version of the game you had that option and it seems to have been taken away.
i thought as much, i only get gems and leave the board
There is a person that is just lingering on my board. How to get rid of her?
How do I restore data I lost in a update
What happens with the bunny in cowboy gear and the ball rolling back and forth? I stop the ball but then it just stays on that screen until I leave the game.
When you land on the bullseye when trying to shoot the bunny with cowboy hat, you get a bag full of items. Like gems, coins, rolls, even stickers. But I’ve also noticed that even if you don’t HIT STRAIGHT In the middle of the circle point, just to the side of it, it will STILL shoot the hat off and you’ll still receive the bag of goodies.
I am unable to play the game anymore.. I landed on a tile on my board that said cook me… Now I game is stuck to a hot pot.. I am not able to come out of it.. what should I do?
First it gave me a count down for 14hrs now it shows nothing.. just zoomed to the hot pot
Winner, Winner….Bunny dinner!!
When some occupy a land how do you get them off?
Ok, I’m on the last board and since getting it I can only put 10 out of my 16 landmarks down? Nobody owns any of the tiles or anything and no matter how long I play (hundreds of continuous rolling) nothing changes? I had no issues prior to bunny nior board. Thanks!!
I am looking for a tutotial. Evidently I didn’t get any instructions and I am not sure what I am doing. Any tutorials out there?
Does anyone if the objects on out skirts of board do anything? I are items some kind of code or cheat
How do you change your dice in the game? I’ve seen other people with different dice and was wondering why that is?
If you’ve collected all of the “common” idols to a theme, you will have newly designed dice when playing that theme. While I haven’t collected a full set of “rare/legendary” idols to a theme, there is a space at the end of the bottom row for new special dice upon completion of the collection. Good luck & have fun!
What landmarks should I buy? Should I save up for the expensive ones? Or not buy at all?
I think the B.I.A. is essential imho
Read the description of what the landmark does. Some throw extra dice.
When collecting all the idols for the common set on the first theme it says I win 100 rolls how do I collect them? Clicking on it didn’t seem to work?
How do I get better boards, when I visit people they have there boards with lists of themes like the ones in the box. How do I get it?
When you land in a friend’s Piggy while invading, a meter with a moving ball will pop out. Is it necessary to stop the ball right it in the white spot? Will it give more or less coins?
Yes the closer you stop the ball the circle the better. That’s the idea but I haven’t really noticed much of a difference from when mine landed perfectly or from when I was way off, so who knows. Lol
how to play drop the beat?
Cat Cat – Try to stop the meter as close to the center bullseye as possible. When the moving dot is stopped on any part of the target, you’ll get -5 instead of -2 when not hitting any part of the target. I hope that makes sense.
You’ll have 24 hours to get the target number to 0. *Each time you land on a target, you’ll get this chance*
Once the target # is 0, you’ll get a HUGE JACKPOT of coins, gems & rolls. Usually around 50 rolls, a couple hundred thousand coins & 50, 100 or more gems. The same is true with each “target” square you land on as your board & levels change.
Are there any cheat codes to get extra rolls and if so how do I enter them?
Wish I knew!
I recently purchased one extra cop to make it 4/3 cops. But after a few jails, I have landed several times on Police tile but my extra 4th cop hasn’t been back. Is the extra cop temporary or how can I get him back?
How do I collect the reward for getting all the totems in a set,it says below it to collect 100 rolls but nothing happens when I tap on it
That’s what i wanna know?
You need to collect all the totems until they are all silver, I believe it’s 4 of each totem makes it silver, 8 of each make gold I think and 10 of each is rainbow
How do I return to my original board
How in the world do you get “available space” for landmarks?
how and why do I use the ‘hop’ ‘bounce’ ‘jump’ ‘leap booster?
How the f#$( do you understand the the dj booth???
I am new to the game. I have collected the 45 gold bricks but it doesn’t let me upgrade or use empty. I don’t know what they are for and stuck. I have upgraded all the buildings. Can anyone guide me please? And also I c ppl buying buildings on my board! Is it bad or good. How can i buy buildings on others? Thanks
Once the timer starts, you land on the tile trigger and pick a record. The happy face will raise it +5, unhappy face +1. It will fill in the bullseye, more for tge happy, very little fir unhappy. When you completely fill the bullseye, you get gems, money, etc. When the timer runs out it resets. Difficult to do, but I managed it once.
I’ve spent gems on the machine and gotten free rolls the more dice I’m using per roll the more dice I get. And any tile only asks for gems to level up if you don’t have enough coins.
I unfriended someone and was wondering how I make them my friend again
