This game takes place in a time of political upheaval in medieval Britain because the king has just died. There are power struggles in the eight regions of Britain, between Welsh, Scottish and English factions as they jockey for control. Whichever faction dominates the most regions will gain control over the entire country. The game ends when all regional power struggles have been resolved. If players are not careful, this period of unrest can result in France invading to gain control instead which quickly changes the conditions needed to win the game. The player who has earned the most favor with either the winning faction or equal favor among all regions if France gains control wins the game. This game is easy to learn, but with a challenging strategy as things can shift quickly between each round. For 2-4 players with a 30 to 45- minute playtime.

Publisher's Description of King is Dead Game (Second Edition)
The King is dead. The kingdom is divided. Three factions – the Scottish, the Welsh, and the English – vie for control and, across the sea, foreign invaders prepare to take advantage of the chaos. Players must marshal their limited resources to influence this power struggle, while ensuring that the faction that rises to dominate the realm favors them above all other claimants to the throne.
The King is Dead: Second Edition refreshes the accessible yet strikingly deep game with updated graphic design, gorgeous new artwork, and a brand-new asymmetric game mode for advanced play.
