Taking out your enemies

Be the leader you are meant to be.

In Kings Cross you take control of your units symbolized by their weapon. There are 5 different types of units each representing a different part of an advanced RPS System, each defeating 2 and being defeated by 2 of the others.

But be careful, you never know which weapon an opposing unit has, until you confront it (just like in rock paper scissors).

Plan ahaed and be prepared

Place your armies in your territory, move formations towards your enemies and use action cards to gain a tactical advantage.

But be careful, not only is every single fight, a RPS with unknown outcome, there are also cards (e.g. the seasons) changing the foundation of combat rules. In summer you get more actions per turn, at other points you may have your units suffer from plagues or have a global peace enforced.

Play 1 on 1, 2 on2, FFA or make secret alliances. At the end of the day, the winner is whose King still stands.
