Six Sojourns modular area control board game for 2-4 players - official Red Raven Games cover

What it's about

One map, six journeys, nine weighty decisions

In 2012, Ryan Laukat wrote Eight-Minute Empire, a bonsai-sized area control gem. Thirteen years later, he revisits it, expands it, and adds six entire modular expansions. Thus Six Sojourns is born: same crystalline DNA, but with seas to sail, trades to learn, and a map that changes face with every game.

Each turn you choose one card from five on the table. You build houses, recruit family members, vary ships, or conquer territories. When you've collected nine cards, the game ends — controlled territories, trade sets, and secret bonuses determine who left the deepest mark. The choices are simple. The pressure to choose them well, less so.

But Laukat's real stroke of genius are the six sojourns. Each journey adds new rules — an expansion, an extra trade, a mechanic that changes everything. You can play them in order as a campaign or pick and choose for a single game. One game, six ways to play it.

The game's secret

🃏

Nine cards seem few. Then you realize each is three games in one: an action, a trade, a final score. And all three matter.

Laukat's illustration transforms the map into a picture book. You play for an hour and feel like you've read a short novel.

🎯 COME SI GIOCA

HOW TO PLAY — SIX SOJOURNS IN 5 POINTS

1) Choose a card from the five available

In your turn you selectone of the 5 face-up cardsEach offers immediate actions—building houses, obtaining ships, moving your family around the map, recruiting new members—as well as unique job icons and skills that will affect your final score.

2) Perform the actions indicated on the chosen card

The cards represent the activities of your community: you canextend territorial control, unlock new paths, expand your population, and make small strategic leaps across the map. Each action is simple to perform, but powerful in its consequences.

3) Build your family identity through crafts

Each card shows icons related toprofessions(Cooking, Carpentry, Sewing, Shoemaking, Art, Metalworking, Jewelry). Collecting matching sets strengthens your family and gives you extra points at the end of the game: it's a mini-engine-building hidden inside an area control game.

4) Choose only 9 cards in the whole game: each turn weighs

Six Sojourns is a game of fateful micro-decisions: in the end you will have chosenjust nine cards, so every pick matters. Map, skills, job set, territory control… you can't do everything. You have to decide what to sacrifice.

5) End of game and point counting

When everyone has drafted their ninth card, the points are counted:

control of the regions,
houses and ships placed,
collected craft icons,
abilities or bonuses of the chosen cards.

Whoever scores the most points leads the most influential family in the entire kingdom.

📜 REGOLAMENTO

Six Sojours Rules in English

Six Sojourns – Six Journeys, One Legacy to Leave

Every card is a life choice. Every route, a possible future.

You're not just moving meeples around a map.
You are guiding a family through generations of choices.

In front of you, five cards.
Behind you, a world that changes faster than your certainties.
Do you build a house to have a fixed point?
Are you taking a ship to explore?
Or invest in the professions that will truly define who you are?

Each shift forces you to look far ahead, to give up something in order to get what really matters. And when someone occupies exactly that region you needed, you feel the pressure: it is not a declared conflict, it is a silent, strategic, inevitable control of the territory.

Then comes the ninth round.
You stop, look at your map, your family, your choices.
And you understand that, in Six Sojourns, you don't build points: you build a story.

You don't choose a card: you choose the path your family will take.

Compact control area, heavy choices and six trips to experience

Six Sojourns is a family strategy board game for 2–4 players, created by Ryan Laukat as a modern reimagining of Eight-Minute Empire. The game combines territory control, card selection, and skill management: each turn, players choose one of five available cards, each with actions (build houses, move, obtain ships, expand the family) and icons representing professions such as cooking, carpentry, craftsmanship, art, and goldsmithing.

Only nine cards are selected for the entire game: few decisions, but all decisive. The game can be played as a campaign consisting of six journeys (sojourns), each with new rules and cards, or as a single, customizable experience. Perfect for those looking for a short, strategic, interactive and low-complexity board game, but with rich and satisfying choices.

What makes Six Sojourns a unique board game?

Ultra-compressed but tension-filled control area.
Only nine cards: a few choices, all important.
Professions and skills that change your playstyle.
Six journeys for a replayable and modular campaign.
Constant interaction on the map, without direct conflict.
