Learn how to add the Biddy & Walter promo realm to Rolling Realms, from setup and card placement to scoring tips that make the most of this six-card pack.

Quick answer

To play the Biddy & Walter realm, take the six promo cards, choose the realm card that matches your player count, and place it beside your Rolling Realms core game boards. Then follow the realm's printed scoring conditions as you fill in your resource rows.

What the promo adds and what it does not

The Biddy & Walter pack is a set of six cards inspired by Jamey's cats. It is an add-on, not a standalone game, so you still need the Rolling Realms core game to use it. The pack does not introduce new resource types or change the core dice-drafting loop; instead, it gives you an alternate realm card with its own scoring puzzle.

Because the promo is small, it works best as a swap-in for one of your usual realms rather than as an extra realm stacked on top of a full game. Adding it to every game can dilute the tension of the core realm mix, so treat it as a change of pace for players who already know the base game.

When the Biddy & Walter realm fits best

This realm suits groups that enjoy planning around a fixed scoring condition rather than chasing flexible bonuses. If your table prefers straightforward engines with lots of small decisions, the promo realm can feel restrictive because its scoring is tied to specific card patterns. It is also a good choice for solo play when you want a short, focused puzzle.

Avoid using it in a teaching game with new players. The core realms already introduce the resource system, and adding a promo realm with its own scoring quirks can slow down the first play. Save it for a second session once everyone knows how turns and resource placement work.

Step-by-step setup and play

Check you have the core game: Before opening the promo pack, confirm your Rolling Realms core game is on the table. The promo cards reference the core resource rows and dice, so they cannot be played alone. A common mistake is treating the promo as a complete game; it is only an add-on.
Separate the six promo cards: Lay out all six cards from the pack and identify the realm card you will use. The pack is inspired by Walter and Biddy, but only the realm card is needed for play; the other cards are reference or flavor components. Do not shuffle the promo cards into the core realm deck; keep them separate to avoid confusion.
Place the realm card beside your player board: Put the Biddy & Walter realm card next to your Rolling Realms player board so its scoring conditions are visible. Leave space for the core resource rows and any dice you draft. Check that the card does not cover your resource tracker or limit your writing space.
Set up the core game as usual: Follow the standard Rolling Realms setup for your player count, including dice and resource tokens. The promo does not change the core setup; it only adds a new realm option. If you are unsure about core setup, use the base rulebook first, then add the promo realm.
Play turns using the core rules: On your turn, draft dice and fill in resources exactly as the core game instructs. The Biddy & Walter realm only changes how you score at the end, not how you take turns. Do not invent new actions for the promo; it is scored, not played, differently.
Score the realm at game end: When the game ends, evaluate the Biddy & Walter realm card's printed scoring conditions against your filled resource rows. Count only what the card specifies, and do not add bonuses from other realms unless the card explicitly allows it. A frequent error is double-counting resources that already scored for another realm; keep each realm's scoring separate.

Product facts

Rolling Realms Promo: Biddy & Walter: The Biddy & Walter promo pack contains 6 cards and requires the Rolling Realms core game. You can add it to an existing collection without buying a new base game, but it will not function on its own.
