The King is Dead: Second Edition

The King is Dead: Second Edition is an area-influence strategy game that challenges you to steer three rival factions toward victory while making sure you’re on the winning side.

The King is dead, and medieval Britain is up for grabs as the Scottish, Welsh, and English struggle for control while foreign invaders loom. On each turn you spend one of a very limited set of actions to shift influence, spark conflicts, or reposition the leaders that drive the power struggle. Because your options are scarce, every move is a sharp political choice: help a faction surge now, or keep your support balanced in case the board turns against you. The second edition adds refreshed artwork and graphic design along with an advanced asymmetric mode for experienced players. Plays 2–4 players in 30–45 minutes, recommended for ages 14+. Available now at Boarding School Games—choose your loyalties wisely.
