King's Crown is a board game released in 2023 for 2 players, 20–60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Lee Sedol and its main mechanics are Memory and Bingo.
Combining Go’s open gameplay with the chance taking of Bingo, this game does not only require strategic thinking, but also a good memory. It is divided into two phases: stone acquisition and stone playing. Your goal is to get a bingo by playing your chosen stones. Choose what information you will give your opponent and try to remember what you know about their game plan. King's Crown is the last of three games of the game series Wiz Stone, developed by Go grandmaster Lee Sedol. —description from the publisher

Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for King's Crown is 20–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists King's Crown for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
