Description
The king's passing has left a power vacuum, and three factions - the Scottish, Welsh, and English - are vying for control of the kingdom. As one of 2 to 4 players, you'll need to strategically influence this struggle, using your limited resources to back the faction that will ultimately favor you. With the kingdom in chaos, foreign invaders are also waiting in the wings, ready to take advantage of the situation. This updated version of the game, released in 2020, offers a fresh look with new artwork and an asymmetric game mode for advanced players. Easy to learn but with depth for strategy, The King Is Dead: Second Edition is a game of medieval politics and warfare that can be played in just 30 to 45 minutes. With its unique blend of game mechanics, including area majority and hand management, this game is perfect for those who enjoy a challenge and a bit of competition.
