Kingless is a tabletop card game designed for 2 to 6 players, created by Nathan Brown, Alex Kenworthy-Neale, and Sebastian Roberts. Published by Two19 in 2020, the game has garnered international recognition, with distribution in 38 countries as of 2022.[1] Set in the fictional tavern, "The Hammer & Crown," players compete for influence through strategic Items and Events. The game culminates when one player accumulates 5 cards in their play area, after which influence points are tallied to declare a winner.
History[edit]
Kingless was introduced to the public through a successful Kickstarter campaign, amassing over US$26,000. The game was delivered to its backers in January 2021 and hit retail shelves the subsequent month.
Reception[edit]
Kingless has received positive reviews from various outlets, including Well Played and the April 2022 edition of Tabletop Gaming Magazine.[2] The game's engaging mechanics were noted in an interview with Fourtato Games.[3] Additionally, The Mercury highlighted the game, with Kasey Wilkins remarking, "Those looking to escape their homes will soon be able to visit a fantasy world filled with dwarfs and magic."[4]
Kingless secured the PAX Aus Indy Showcase award in 2021.[5] Following this, the game, along with its upcoming expansion "The Festival of Explosions," was again honored with the same award in 2023.[6] Due to its escalating popularity, the game was invited to the PAX Aus Indy Showcase in 2022.[7] Notably, Kingless was also nominated for the PAX Australia Indie Showcase People's Choice awards. As a testament to its growing recognition, Kingless has been showcased and promoted at PAX Australia as an Indy Showcase winner two years consecutively.
