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 gamemaster plays an actual role while up to seven other major players, including a young queen, a haughty archbishop and a wily ambassador, vie to place themselves in a position to rule the kingdom when the king finally keels over. Dozens of minor roles allow the game to be as large and elaborate as you desire. Or just keep it small... and cut-throat.

• Think How to Host a Murder meets Diplomacy.
• Long Live the King has limitless replay value as there's no one "murder" that's solved. Players will want to apply their fuller knowledge of the game to besting their rivals next time!
