About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a fierce struggle for the Scottish throne in King's Kilt! In this card game for 2 to 4 players, you take on the role of a noble family vying for power and prestige. The objective is simple, but the execution is full of intrigue: influence the clans and position your secret candidates within the hierarchy to ascend to power. Each player starts with three hidden clan members, and the art is to get them into the right positions, whether as King, Guardian, or Noble. The board, with a grid movement system, adds an interesting tactical layer where positioning matters greatly. But beware, as treachery is a valid weapon! Eliminating opponents and disrupting their plans is part of the strategy to secure victory. With quick games lasting around 30 to 45 minutes, King's Kilt is perfect for those who enjoy games with a touch of bluffing, strategy, and an engaging historical theme. It's a great choice for those who like card games with a bit more interaction and a well-executed Scottish theme. The complexity is accessible, making it a good game to introduce new players to area control and influence mechanics, all wrapped in charming production that evokes the Scottish highlands.
