Britain has lost its king, leaving the realm divided and vulnerable. In The King Is Dead Second Edition, the Scottish, Welsh and English factions compete for control while foreign invaders wait for the perfect moment to strike.
Rather than commanding a single faction, players influence all three and gather supporters to strengthen their claim to the throne. Every player has only eight actions for the entire game, making careful timing, shifting loyalties and knowing when to pass essential. This refreshed edition features updated artwork and an asymmetric advanced mode for experienced players.
