Your job? Push the King to safety. Simple.  

The problem?  

  • Two of your soldiers are assassins waiting to stab him.  
  • Two are greedy mercenaries who’ll ditch you for gold.  
  • Traps are everywhere. You won’t see them until it’s too late.  
  • Food is running out, but cynical jokes aren't.

The mechanics?

  • Among the King's Guard, there are two Mercenaries and two Assassins.
  • A Mercenary will seize treasure and flee the moment they get their hands on it.
  • An Assassin can kill the King if left alone with him.
  • However, placing another Soldier next to the Assassin will disrupt their plans.
  • The only way to save the King is to push him off the game board
  • If only it weren’t for those damn hidden traps.

How to play?

  • Click on a Soldier to select it.
  • Then click on a neighboring tile you want to move it to.
  • Walking towards the King will push him if possible.
  • Press "R" to restart.
  • Press "H" for help.

Don´t get enough?

  • The browser version comes with all the functionality and mechanics
  • But if you are looking for an enhanced visual experience including music and SFX, we encourage you to download the desktop build
