Introduction
It is not easy to be a king, but someone has to do it. The valley is teeming with subjects that are in search of a charismatic leader. Your goal is to venture into the valley and summon these subjects to your cause…queens, knights, peasants, everyone has a role to play in your magnificent plan. Subjects from over the hills have heard about your skills, intellect and good looks. Allured by your leadership they travel towards the valley. But beware, your rivals also want to increase the influence of their kingdom. Use gold with caution to recruit subjects from the hills at the risk of having an empty treasury. Use the magic of the wizard, the inspiration of the priest and the influence of the tax collector wisely. All acquired subjects will be brought into your castle which will add to your reputation to become the one true king…

 First international edition with 3D hill
The very first edition is a multi-lingual version with rules in English, German, Dutch and French rules inside the box. The 3D hill can be instructed in a flexible way, so the steepness of the hill - and the distribution of new characters from the hill - can be adjusted to your preference. See picture of the hill on the right. The hill is helpfull to replenish the open positions at the top of the hill with new tiles which move down the hill more easily.
New editions and expansions? (updated)
Localized versions of the game have been introduced in Poland, Germany and France. The first expansion to the game is called The Festival. It creates more options, with more tiles and +15 minutes extra, which will have more options especially fun for 3 and 4 players. Some might have concluded that the game is too short for 4 players. We know King of the Valley is strategic for 2 players, but now it also creates enough "flesh and bones" to a game for 3 or 4 players.
