About the game
It's spreading. What started as a petty feud has grown to engulf the nation, and even the most stoic spectators are now picking sides. And as the scope of the conflict changes, so must the strategy; each contender must learn to command larger armies and coordinate with new allies. This is truly a time where strong leadership could turn the tide of history... For the Crown, by designer Jeremy Lennert, introduces All the King's Men, a four-player variant pack! All the King's Men introduces two new variants: The Extended Game and the Team Game. The Extended Game (2-player) uses extra cards, with two options to play an extended game with a friend. The Team Game allows four players to play a single game, in two teams of two! Note, the For the Crown: All the King's Men is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of For the Crown Second Edition to use this variant pack. This variant cannot be used with the first edition of For the Crown. Game Data: Complexity: 3 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 2 on a 9 scale
