From the Steve Jackson Games website:

Marriage. Royalty. Tragedy. Will your line reign supreme? King's Blood is a fast-paced multi-player card game. Build the family tree by arranging marriages, exiling rivals, and crowning new royalty. Match a character with a compatible member of the opposite sex, and start a new generation. Play the last family member from your hand, and you've won!

King's Blood was originally published by Kadokawa Shoten in Japan, where it remains a fan favorite. Steve Jackson Games is proud to offer the authorized English translation of this fast, fun game, complete with all the beautiful original manga artwork.
