King Down
Four rival heirs march toward the capital, each supported by an army and driven by Glory, Greed, Blood, or Honour. Players choose a king, assemble an army, and compete to defeat opposing kings while advancing across the board. The game draws on chess-inspired movement and tactics, but replaces familiar pieces with new characters and adds spell cards, varied strategies, and multiple victory conditions for 2–4 players.
