Description from the Game Trade Magazine:
Long Live the King is a dynamic new game that marries the diabolical treachery and scheming of the best strategic board games with the pomp and circumstance of the most elaborate live-action games. In the role of an ailing king, the game master plays an actual role while up to seven other major players vie to place themselves in a position to rule the kingdom when the king finally keels over. Schedule to ship in December 2006.
