About the game

What you do in a play session

In Knight, you assume the mantle of a medieval knight in a world of intrigue and challenges. This flip-and-write game invites you to navigate the royal court, building your influence and enhancing your character to impact the kingdom's direction. Each turn is a new adventure, dictated by six cards that reveal events and available resources. You'll need to manage these resources wisely to activate crucial actions, whether in epic wars, territorial expansion, the election of new leaders, or combating plagues and natural disasters. The solo mode simulates opponent actions, ensuring a constant challenge even without human adversaries. The game unfolds over two main rounds, with secondary objectives emerging every three turns to add more spice and rewards. Winning in Knight isn't a single task; there are various paths to glory, whether by accumulating points, conquering the entire map, or emerging victorious in crucial battles. But beware, as defeat also lurks: if the enemy takes the castle or occupies all the territory, the game might end prematurely. Prepare your pen and paper, as the age of knights awaits you!
