	Description Edit \| History

The king is dying and the nobles (the players) try to get influence enough to be the next chosen. Influence is achieved by surrounding key areas (palace, library,) with buildings you control. The opponents can erect new buildings over the ones you already built so be careful. Like in all good games there is a dragon :) It can be sent for destruction of your opponents’ buildings.

	More Information Edit \| History

This is said to be a retheme of Der Herr der Ringe: Die Gefährten, Das Kartenspiel.

Masks for King's Gate tiles

Adhesive labels for tiles to mask out the border buildings, greatly improving the game appearance. Also tile titles and logos, and borders for character counters.
