An independent companion
The Defenders Field Guide helps English-speaking readers understand MinaLima’s board game and find the right source quickly. It is an unofficial fan resource, not a publisher support channel.
We do not claim to be the first guide, promise winning strategies, or present editorial suggestions as official rules.
Our source desk
Rulebook links point to the publisher-hosted file available when reviewed. If your printed edition or a later publisher correction differs, use the applicable official text.
What is a rule, and what is advice?
The beginner guide cites the rulebook. Strategy notes are our editorial suggestions. Buying information cites campaign pages and is dated. We have not conducted a hands-on review.
Original instructional diagrams simplify selected rules; they are not official components or a board layout. The written guide cites the rulebook, not the embedded video. Original castle illustrations set the mood; they do not depict official components or provide a playable board layout.
