Explanation of Game Conditions
The King's Dilemma is a deeply interactive narrative game with legacy elements, where players take on the role of noble houses guiding the fate of the Kingdom of Ankist. Each round, the Council is faced with a dilemma, presented through a unique event card. Players must debate, negotiate, and ultimately vote on how to proceed, knowing that every decision carries lasting consequences.
Balancing personal ambition with the kingdom's stability is at the heart of the game. Will you act in the best interest of Ankist, or will you manipulate events to serve your house’s agenda? The choices you make shape the unfolding story, leading to new dilemmas, branching narratives, and multiple possible endings.
With shifting alliances, political intrigue, and the weight of leadership on your shoulders, The King’s Dilemma challenges you to decide: Will you rule with wisdom, or will greed and power steer your course?
