Game Description:

“Like a King” is a strategic card game where players take on the roles of medieval monarchs, vying for power and dominance in a kingdom. With a unique blend of luck, strategy, and social interaction, this game is perfect for fans of card games, history, and diplomacy.

How to Play:

  1. Each player starts with a hand of five cards, representing their kingdom’s resources, allies, and threats.
  2. On each turn, players draw a card and then play one card from their hand to take one of three actions:
    • Govern: Use a card to gain a bonus, such as adding a new resource or gaining an advantage in a diplomatic negotiation.
    • Diplomate: Trade cards with another player to strengthen your kingdom or hinder your opponents.
    • Conquer: Use a card to attack another player’s kingdom, stealing resources or even declaring war.
  3. Players can also use special cards to manipulate the game state, such as swapping hands with another player or forcing everyone to discard a card.
  4. The game ends when one player’s kingdom is depleted of all resources, or when a player’s influence score reaches a set threshold (e.g., 10 points).
  5. The player with the highest influence score at the end of the game is declared the winner, having successfully built a powerful and prosperous kingdom “like a king.”
