Kill the King is a razor-sharp micro card game of deception, deduction, and sudden betrayal.
Hidden among just 16 cards lies the King. Every player commands three face-down characters, potentially including loyal knights, guards, cunning royals, shadowy assassins, and unpredictable tricksters. On your turn you’ll attack, manipulate, or unleash powerful abilities as you hunt for the throne… or fight to survive upon it.
But nothing is ever certain.
Assassins strike without warning. Alliances shift. The King can change hands in an instant. And the smallest move can reshape the fate of the kingdom.
Designed by Will Hutcheson together with his sons Jack and Sam, Kill the King delivers big mind-games and dramatic moments in a tiny pocket-sized package.
With only 16 cards, every reveal matters. Every decision carries risk. And sometimes… the most dangerous player at the table is the one who appears weakest.
Who holds the King?
Can you trust your instinct?
And will you destroy the crown… or claim it?
