Kingmaker: The Quest for The Crown
Kingmaker is a digital adaptation of a board game, placing its strategic gameplay within the context of England's War of the Roses. The primary objective for a player, who controls either the York or Lancaster faction, is to secure the throne for a chosen heir.
Victory is pursued less through martial dominance and more via political maneuvering. The systems emphasize granting favors to allies and removing opponents, with combat presented through a simplistic interface. This design focus shifts player strategy toward schemes and influence rather than direct battlefield tactics.
