Description
In the game Usurp the King, the monarch's grip on power is tenuous at best, and the court is filled with subjects seeking to advance their own interests. Players take on the roles of families vying for control, gathering information, exerting influence, and collecting resources in a bid to shape the court to their advantage. As the game unfolds, allegiances will shift and motives will be revealed, making for a thrilling and unpredictable experience. With seven different victory conditions in play, the path to victory is never set in stone, and players must adapt and evolve their strategies as the game progresses. The game is divided into phases of intrigue, rebellion, and scoring, each with its own opportunities and challenges. With a playtime of just 35 to 50 minutes, Usurp the King is a compact and intense experience that's perfect for 2 to 5 players looking for a game of medieval politics and fantasy intrigue.
