King Of The Castle

I know the rant below is long, but it is just two problems I try to be detailed about in an otherwise incredibly fun game. SO DO NO GET ME WRONG, I DO RECOMMEND THIS GAME AND I ENJOY IT! 1. The more common events get quite repetitive. I would love for the game to add some way of affecting the dialogue and look of things within the events to keep them fresh. In my first few games the dialogue was a really fun part of the game that is now sadly quite dull because of a lack of variety. More customisation in every part of the game would be great for it in general, it would enhance the roleplay. The personality of my noble is really just the same throughout all the games which kills the roleplay potential. 2. This maybe is a bit of a hot take, but I think the sheer randomness of the way the events appear in takes away from the strategy and "choices matter" aspect of the game. I definitely do see how this game is not meant to be played competitively, but it is to a very solid extent advertised as a strategy game and I feel like it is lacking in that department while having massive potential to be quite the game of chess. I've always felt like this game keeps you a bit too in the dark about how your choices matter. It's hard for me to say to what extent the voting even affects the order of which the events occur in, or if it affects their occurance in general. It is hard to grasp that without any direct hints during gameplay while having (for example) only 30 hours of playtime (counting noble in my case) and I feel that's the main problem here. The strategy in this game could really benefit from telling you a bit more about what kind of future events you might see as a result of a choice you'd be making, without having to potentially memorise that yourself by replaying the game over and over again. I'm not talking straight up just telling you the next event, just moreso a broad description of a broader pool of upcoming events with some info on how it would affect the statistics. I also feel like the choices should matter more in general. From what I feel like I actually have memorised about the events' chronology, voting in order to shoot for specific future events never really seemed all that worth it, or it was just contradictory to your scheme progression because of the stats you'd end up with. Overall though, despite these two critical flaws that I think are clipping its wings, this is a great game with massive potential. Never tested it on a livestream, but with a group of friends I can tell you you'll still have a lot of fun.

What a beautiful game of medieval intrigue and politics and lots of arguing around the table with every noble trying to get the most out of every vote!

super fun party game to play with friends but be careful cus ur friends will start teaming as soon as ur close to winning lol. my friend originally bought this and you only need one copy to play but i caved and also bought it so i could fully customize my characters and yes it was worth it

I love this game!

The game is fun but has one important thing missing in my opinion. We (the hosts of a match) should be able to choose who the king is because we might be playing with friends that don't have the game bought and they might want to play as monarch.

С друзьями интриги реально работают

Je n'ai pas vraiment joué, puisque le jeu requiert d'avoir des compagnons de jeux.
