Description

Get ready to navigate the intrigue of a late medieval English court in Kings Progress, a game of strategy and skill for 3 to 5 players. Designed by Steve Kingsbury, this 90-minute game drops you into a world of royal castles, courtiers, and gift-giving, where your goal is to accumulate the most prestige for your family. You'll do this by collecting courtier cards, building your influence, and using your courtiers to snag the best gifts for yourself. With each round representing a stop on the King's Progress, you'll need to think carefully about how to manage your hand, move your courtiers, and collect the sets that will earn you the most victory points. As the game unfolds over three rounds, gifts become increasingly valuable, and the competition for control of the courtiers heats up. But it's not just about accumulating gifts - each courtier has a unique character ability that can be used to gain extra actions or advantages, adding a rich layer of depth to the game. With rules of normal complexity, Kings Progress is accessible to anyone familiar with board games, making it a great choice for groups of experienced players looking for a fun and challenging medieval-themed game. Published in 2005, Kings Progress has established itself as a classic in the genre, and its engaging gameplay and social interaction make it a great addition to any game night.
