King's Coalition

King's Coalition

2024·Derek Croxton

2 - 5 players
30 min
Light weight: Learn it in minutes

From BoardGameGeek

The King, facing unrest at home and abroad, has fired his key advisors. Now, you have an opportunity to assemble a coalition of his subjects to take their place. Maybe you'll unite the political power of an entire class, or perhaps build an alliance across the classes. As more subjects join the court, additional strategies may arise. In King's Coalition, each class has its own abilities and range of influence. Build your coalition by drafting a card, then discarding one from your hand - but be careful not to give your opponents the exact card they need to make their coalition outpace yours. You have seven cards in hand to form the strongest coalition to score bonuses that are revealed throughout the game, in addition to trying to create sets and sequences. The player who can build the strongest coalition will win the king's support...and a place at his side.
