King Arthur is dead! The nation is divided! The Saxons are coming! Now, more than ever, Britain needs a ruler who can unite the kingdom, but who will take the crown? Set in Britain in the wake of the death of King Arthur, players in The King is Dead: Struggles for Power in King Arthur's Court are potential claimants to the throne working behind the scenes, marshalling their limited resources to grant power to competing factions and gaining influence within their ranks. Whether a loyal knight, a scheming lord, or an ambitious noblewoman, you all have one thing in common: power! Players owe loyalty only to themselves, however, and are free to shift their allegiances as they see fit. Whoever has the most influence over the most powerful faction will rule Britain from the shadows. But, be careful - too much infighting will give the Saxons an opening and put the entire nation is at risk!
Osprey's first foray into board games, The King is Dead is a game of politics and power struggles in the dark Arthurian Britain.
