12 Patrols - A solo abstract-ish strategy game 

Rules version 2.00 


 
You are the Constable of the kingdom. Send out 12 patrols of 
knights and footmen to protect all 9 regions. 
 
Components 
12 cards 
3 dark colored D6 dice 
3 dark colored cubes 
3 medium colored D6 dice 
3 medium colored cubes 
3 light colored D6 dice 
3 light colored cubes 
 
Game Overview 
Select 9 cards for the game, draw cards, then place region 
cards in a 3x3 grid. As you build the grid, add patrols (dice or 
cubes) between the cards that satisfy all the requirements in 
that row or column. Win by placing all 12 patrols 
satisfactorily. 
 
Terminology 
➢ Item: ​A cube (representing a footman) or die 
(representing a knight) 
 
➢ Region: ​ One card 
 
➢ Kingdom:​ The grid of regions that will be 
created during the game. By the end of each 
game, this will be a 3x3 grid with 12 (total) 
patrols, one orthogonally between each card. 
 
➢ Requirements:​ The numbers and/or symbols 
on each (North, East, South, and West) side 
of a region card which state the needed sum 
of all (1 or 2) patrols in that direction  
 
➢ Patrol: ​Combination of zero or more cubes 
(footmen) with zero or more dice (knights), 
placed between two regions. Each patrol 
must have at least one item (cube or die). 
 
Note: Requirements on the edges of the cards that face the outside of the 3x3 grid are ignored. So, in 
the example on the next page, assuming those 3 cards make up the top row of the 3x3 grid of the 
kingdom, the “sum=3” on the top of the Wild Plains and the “3 items” on the top of the Ruins cards are 
ignored.

Example of one row of regions with patrols between them that are satisfactory: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
Looking at the icons along the long edges of the cards, from left to right: 
1. If there was an icon on the left edge of the Wild Plains, it would be ignored, since there are no 
patrols to the left of it. 
2. There are 3 items to the right of the Wild plains (2 black dice and 1 red cube). 
3. There is 1 item to the left of the Green Valley. 
4. There are items of 2 different colors to the right of the Green Valley. 
5. The sum of all dice values to the left of Ruins is 6 (4 + 2). 
6. If there was an icon on the right edge of the Ruins, it would be ignored, since there are no patrols 
to the right of it. 
 
Set Up 
1. Roll all 9 dice. You may wish to arrange them by color. 
2. Place the 9 cubes near the dice. 
3. Select any 9 cards from the 12, shuffle these 9 region cards and place the deck face down. 
THe other 3 cards will not be used. 
 
Gameplay 
1. Deal 3 region cards face up. 
2. Place any one of the 3 anywhere in the kingdom, the to-be built 3x3 grid of region cards. 
3. Deal 1 card to replace the placed card. 
4. Place any one of the 3 available region cards adjacent to an already played card (to the left, 
right, top, or bottom). Cards must be played right side up (not rotated). 
5. If desired, immediately select one or more items (cubes and/or dice) to place in any open 
patrol spot - any empty spot orthogonally between any played region cards to satisfy the 
requirements (the symbols on the facing edges of the region cards). When a row or column of 
3 cards is completed, then all items between those cards must be placed. 
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 until all cards are played, or you can no longer satisfy the regions’ 
requirements.  
 
 
Winning the Game 
Place all 9 cards and place all 12 satisfactory patrols.

Notes:  
1. At any time, you may change the value of an un-played die to any value by discarding from the 
game one un-used cube or die. 
2. Once cards and items are placed, they can not be moved.
