Hey everyone! Get ready to dive into post-King Arthur Britain, a chaotic period where the throne is vacant and diplomacy is the only way to avoid civil war. In The King Is Dead, you won't be drawing swords, but rather cards and strategies to unite the Scottish, Welsh, and Romano-British factions. Forget brutal conquest; here, power is gained through influence and cunning.

Each player takes on the role of a member of Arthur's court – you might be a loyal knight, a scheming lord, or an ambitious noblewoman. What matters is that you all have one thing in common: a thirst for power. Each turn, you'll use your cards to support one of the three factions, increasing their influence in one of the eight regions on the map. But be careful, your actions can have unexpected consequences! The game is a true tug-of-war, where every move counts and managing your hand of cards is crucial.

The ultimate goal? To be the player with the most influence over the most powerful faction at the end of the game. The map shrinks, tensions rise, and alliances are made and broken every round. It's a tense area majority game where communication can be limited, adding an extra layer of challenge. If you enjoy a political game with plenty of interaction and tough decisions, The King Is Dead is a sure bet for your table!
