The King’s Dilemma is an intense narrative experience with legacy elements, characterized by various stories that unfold leading to multiple possible endings. The heart of the game is an evolving event card deck.  Players represent the various Houses that govern the Kingdom of Ankist. Each round you will draw a card from the Dilemma deck and experience the story of the game as it unfolds. Each card will present a problem that the Council must solve on behalf of the King. As members of the King’s inner circle, your decisions will determine how the story progresses and the fate of the kingdom. Each event will only happen once: you will discuss and negotiate with other players and ultimately have to make a choice, determining its consequence and advancing the game's story, potentially unlocking many other events. You must advance the Kingdom while also seeking to benefit your House; this power struggle could lead the kingdom into war, famine, or uprising, or it could generate health and prosperity. It will depend on your choices! The point is that every decision has consequences; what might be good for the kingdom could be bad for your family.

Will you act for a greater good, or will you think only of yourself?
