Lairs Board Game - Includes Box Zero Bonus Content

Build Your Lair. Defend Your Hoard. Outlast Every Rival.

There's a particular satisfaction in watching your carefully constructed lair hold firm while a rival dragon's crumbles around them. Lairs puts you in the scaled, treasure-hoarding shoes of a dragon building an underground stronghold — and the tension between expanding your domain and shoring up its defenses is exactly the kind of push-and-pull that makes for a genuinely memorable game night. Every decision feels meaningful, and every turn your opponents take feels like a threat worth watching.

What Is Lairs?

Lairs is a competitive strategy game in which players take on the roles of rival dragons, each racing to construct the most formidable underground lair while gathering resources, amassing treasures, and fending off the ambitions of their neighbours. The theme isn't just window dressing — the mechanics reinforce the fantasy at every turn, from the way you carve out tunnels and chambers to the way you protect (or raid) rival hoards. This edition includes the Box Zero Bonus Content, which adds additional components and content right out of the gate, giving you more to work with from your very first session.

The gameplay sits in approachable territory without sacrificing strategic depth. Players are constantly making interesting choices: do you invest in expansion now, or consolidate and defend what you've already built? The interplay between building and conflict gives the game a dynamic rhythm that keeps the table engaged from the first turn to the final scoring.

Who Should Play It?

Lairs is a strong pick for groups who enjoy competitive games with a fantasy theme and enough strategic texture to reward repeat plays. It works well with two players looking for a tight head-to-head experience, and scales comfortably into larger groups for a more chaotic, politically charged session. The game sits in the medium-weight range — there's enough to learn that it deserves a proper first session, but nothing so complex that new players will feel lost before things get interesting. It's a natural fit for fantasy fans, strategy enthusiasts, and anyone who has ever thought they'd make an excellent dragon.

What's in the Box?

This edition bundles the Box Zero Bonus Content alongside the base game, meaning you're getting expanded options and additional variety without needing a separate purchase. The included components bring the lair-building theme to life with illustrated cards and game pieces that reinforce the fantasy setting throughout play. The bonus content adds meaningful variety to the base experience — not filler, but material that genuinely broadens what's on the table.
