Welcome to the magical world that is Sword of Kings, the premier game of Red Knight Card Games. From the moment you pick up the box you will be drawn into this world by its beautiful artwork. Then, as you read the instructions you will find yourself completely immersed in a kingdom locked in turmoil. You soon discover the future of the kingdom is in your hands as you must try to defeat a dragon, its minions, and even a mountain itself, all the while trying to outsmart other knights who are trying to make sure you fail. Are you up to the challenge?

~ History of the Sword ~

The evil dragon has been laying waste to the kingdom from its lair in the volcanic mountain. The king decided to end the dragon’s reign of terror and went in search of the evil beast. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the king was slain by the dragon. To make matters worse, the dragon took the king’s symbol of power (The Sword of Kings) to its lair. The kingdom has since plunged into darkness as you and the other knights fight each other for the right to be king.

Knowing the only way to unite the land is to recover the Sword of Kings, you turn your attention to the volcanic mountain eerily looming in the distance. Your exhilaration grows as you rush towards it, confident you are ready to face whatever dangers stand between you and the Sword of Kings...

~ Game Objective ~

The excitement begins as you assume the role of one of the knights vying to become king. The initial goal for you and the other players is to use the various tunnel cards to build your own unique tunnel from your Cave Entrance to your Dragon’s Lair. While building your tunnel, each of you will discover wondrous magical objects to use and encounter friendly people and creatures willing to help you on your perilous quest. At the same time, you will find evil creatures and natural disasters (Tunnel Delays) to play on the other knights to slow their progress.

Once inside the lair, you must fight the dragon that is defending the Sword of Kings. This stage of the game becomes even more exciting as you may be forced to lose a turn as you dodge the dragon’s fiery breath or you might get lucky enough to pick up the Sword of Kings and use it against the dragon. But don’t get too confident if you pick up the sword, because the dragon may just knock it back out of your hands. The game ends when you or one of the other knights defeats the dragon and claims the honor of becoming king.
