## Description
Hey everyone! In King's Gate, the kingdom's in a frenzy because the king's dying without an heir, and four ambitious nobles have rolled into the capital, all eyeing the throne. Whoever controls the city, controls the kingdom, right? You and your opponents play as these lords, vying to surround key city locations like the palace and the wizard's tower with your own districts: shops, barracks, and more. But watch your step! Your rivals might build over your neighborhoods or, even worse, unleash a dragon to torch your territory. It's a tense tile-laying game that blends construction with destruction, keeping you on the edge of your seat. Get ready for a tight, strategic contest where every tile matters, and diplomacy might just go up in smoke. It's quick, straightforward, and has that touch of chaos we love!
