For the King

Description

Share & Bid (Until It's All Yours)

The young monarch has no knack for governing. Take advantage of this and gain his trust by taking on the most important government duties. Distribute the duties, and use your influence to outbid your opponent for the best jobs. Share cards, choose the most-high profile jobs...and then experience an auction phase as belligerent as it is clever!

In For the King (and Me), discover a retheme of the acclaimed Biblios, now for up to 5 players, and enjoy a game that gets more intense...and more duplicitous in every game!

1. Achieve the majority in the best offices

2. Slyly speculate on their value

3. Step into the best government roles!

Mechanisms:

• Auction/Bidding• Card Drafting• Commodity Speculation• Drafting• Hand Management• Set Collection
