About the Game

♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛♕♛
Welcome to a world of royal intrigue, where every meal could be your king's last, and every face in the crowd might conceal a deadly enemy! Step into the role of an undercover assassin in a game that combines cunning, camouflage, and fierce combat.

Our game offers a unique experience for up to 8 players. Join a royal feast as one of the hidden assassins, and your main goal will be to eliminate the enemy king and secure the throne for your ruler. However, this won't be an easy task! You must exercise extreme caution – assassins from the opposing team also lurk in the crowd, just waiting to eliminate you and your king. Be vigilant, blend into the environment, and don't get spotted!

            

Find chests and poison the king's food

Your mission has multiple paths to victory. One of them involves sneaking through the royal chambers, searching for valuable chests that might contain poison. Open them, acquire the deadly substance to your cup of wine, and then cunningly poison the food! Precision and timing are key – one false move and your identity could be revealed!

           

Find assassins in the crowd, protect your allies before others manage to kill them

But this isn't just a game about offense! Defense is equally crucial. You must be aware of your surroundings and closely observe other feast-goers. Is one of them acting suspiciously? It could be an enemy assassin targeting your king or one of your allies! Quickly identify the threat and protect your ruler before others manage to kill him.

           

"The Kings Gambit" is a strategic action game where the ability to hide, cunning planning, and quick reactions are key to victory. Take part in a royal feast as an undercover assassin! Your goal is to kill the enemy king and secure the throne for your ruler. But watch out! There are enemy assassins who would like to eliminate you and your king. Blend into the crowd and find a way to reach your goal!
