The King Is Dead (2nd Edition)

The King is dead. The kingdom is divided. Three factions - the Scottish, the Welsh, and the English - vie for control, all too evenly matched to seize it for themselves. As instability builds and foreign invaders loom, Britain is desperate for a ruler. But who should bear that mantle?
This Second Edition refreshes the accessible yet strikingly deep game with updated graphic design, gorgeous new artwork by Benoit Billion, and a brand-new asymmetric game mode for advanced play.

Fun for 2!
One of the few games that is fun for 2 players but can also play with more! Surprisingly complex as well.

Great game
Such a good game. The game is simple at its core but the strategies and nuances are amazing. Have had a lot of fun with this one.

Razor Sharp
Such neat gameplay with such slim margins. Each player count is drastically different and optional advanced cards add to depth and replay value. I have yet to play the 4 player team version but based on what I've heard and experienced in 10+ plays of 2-3 player games I am sure it is amazing and has a very different feel. Almost 3 games in one depending on player count and beautiful production makes this one of the best values I have found in a while. The box is the size of their undaunted games which is certainly overkill for the components, but that's getting nitpicky.

Great area control game!
The King is Dead is the perfect quick area control game for us, and the decision making is really unique.

Great 3 player game.
One of my favorite 3 player games, and plays short which I enjoy.

I respect it more than I like it
Amazingly designed game that I can really admire. It plays quickly and is easy to understand, with significant depth. Unfortunately, my family of three didn't actually enjoy it that much. Hard to pin down why exactly.

Streamlined and thinky
Might even be a little TOO streamlined

Excellent tense short game that really shines with the extra cards so that you don’t know what your opponents have in their hands!

Unique Area Control
Area control where you don't play on any particular side. Similar to War of Whispers, your allegiance can change as you influence the fates of the warring armies. Quite fun!
