The King is Dead cover

A second edition of The King is Dead, a 2-4 player game of loyalty and politics in Medieval Britain.

The King is dead. The kingdom is divided. Three factions – the Scottish, the Welsh, and the English – vie for control and, across the sea, foreign invaders prepare to take advantage of the chaos. Players must marshal their limited resources to influence this power struggle, while ensuring that the faction that rises to dominate the realm favours them above all other claimants to the throne. The King is Dead: Second Edition refreshes the accessible yet strikingly deep game with updated graphic design, gorgeous new artwork, and a brand-new asymmetric game mode for advanced play. Players: 2-4 Ages: 14+ Playing Time: 30-45 minutes Contents: Playing board, 53 cards, 54 cubes, 31 counters, cloth bag

A nearly perfect game, now presented at its most beautiful. * Tabletop Gaming Magazine *
I enjoyed the Second Edition because it has all the good things I found in the previous edition, plus with more game modes now, more replay value, and more variety. * Marco Omnigamer *
It feels like a classic game. * Board Game Barrage *
