Description
Long Live the King is a game of secrecy and subterfuge where 4 to 8 players navigate the complex web of alliances, bribery, and deduction. Published in 2020, this medieval-themed game is easy to learn but has layers of depth that are uncovered with each play. Players take on hidden roles, each with their own unique win condition, and must accumulate resources while keeping their true intentions secret. As players negotiate, trade, and sabotage each other, the game becomes a thrilling experience of social interaction and strategic thinking. With playtime ranging from 15 to 45 minutes, Long Live the King is a fast-paced game that's perfect for regular play, with no two games ever being the same due to the randomized roles and once-per-game abilities. The result is a game that's full of memorable moments and encourages table talk, making it a great addition to any game night.
