Kingz (2016)

About this game

Be fast, be brave, be strong. You might just get to be the next King! Animals from all over the world have come to pay their respects to the fallen King… and do battle to take his place. You’ll enter the arena against your opponents and win the crown by being the first to earn five Reputation points or by knocking out the competition. Everyone selects and reveals their Action cards at the same time, so you’ll have to think ahead and anticipate what those other animals are thinking. Remember, a little bluffing never hurt anyone either. There are different game modes and variations to try out, so every time you seek to win the crown, it will be a completely new experience. Sharpen your claws, bare your teeth, and prepare to fight your way to the top!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
