Gambit of Kings: Gen Con 2022 Preview

David Niecikowski, PhD

Watch “Gambit of Kings: Gen Con 2022 Preview,” a board game interview for Gambit of Kings from David Niecikowski, PhD on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Gambit of Kings is an exciting game of strategy and conquest! It combines the classic feel of chess with the atmosphere of a medieval fantasy world. You must use strategy and cunning to lead your armies to victory and overtake your opponent’s castle! To begin, you and your opponent must setup the board and choose a random means to determine who will move first. Players then alternate moves. When it is your turn to move, you must move exactly one of your pieces. You can’t move to a space occupied by one of your other pieces, and you can’t “jump” over any pieces unless otherwise specified. If you move to a space occupied by one of your opponent’s pieces, his or her piece is destroyed. Once you move, your turn is over. The first player to destroy his or her opponent’s Castle wins the game. Players can choose to play with the standard gameboard setup or customize the board with new and unique game pieces from expansion packs. #gambitofkings #thefirsteditiongamingcompany #abstractstrategy #chess #gencon2022 #julieniecikowski gambit of kings board game the first edition gaming company abstract strategy chess gen con 2022 gencon julie niecikowski
