## Description
Hungry King Charles is a fast‑paced party game packed with laughs, perfect for anyone who enjoys a laid‑back round with friends. Each player becomes a royal servant tasked with figuring out what the king craves. You roll three six‑sided dice (3d6) and, based on the total, determine which dish the monarch wants that turn. Then comes the delivery: using the flicking mechanic, you snap the food token – a small disc or marker – toward a target representing the king's table. Every successful delivery scores points, and you have three serving chances per round. The game runs for a set number of turns; when time's up, the player with the most points is crowned the best hungry servant. Components are minimal – dice, food tokens, and a small board – yet the blend of rolling and flicking creates unpredictable, highly entertaining moments. With playtime ranging from 10 to 20 minutes and accommodating 1 to 99 players, Hungry King Charles fits any setting, from a quick duel between two friends to a large family gathering. The learning curve is virtually nonexistent, so everyone can jump in right away. If you like games that mix luck, manual skill, and humor, this title will deliver plenty of giggles and friendly competition wherever you play.
