In Long live the King, your hand of cards represents your kingdom.
It contains units dealt randomly at the beginning of the game and your King.
Choose the placement of each card secretly at the beginning of the game. On your turn, in this order:
- you may reveal one of your units to apply its effect and interact with the other kingdoms,
- you must attack one of your neighbouring kingdoms and, finally,
- you undergo an uprising if you have accumulated too much wrath of the people.
The attacks must target the borders of the neighbouring kingdoms.
You must guess the value of the units so that their kingdom falls card by card until their King is out.
The wrath of the people accumulates in your kingdom when you fail an attack or because of the effects of units.
Be the last standing kingdom to win the game!
A game is played with 7 different units in addition to the King from the 11 in the box. Each unit has a specific effect to allow different kinds of games and massive replayability.
