The Fall of Kings is an asymmetric worker placement game that focuses on 4 different organizations that are determined to perform their duties better than the others. You take control of one of four unique factions; the Town Guard, the Doctor's Consortium, Paladin's Order and Tax Collectors and you must perform each faction's unique actions on the surrounding towns of the kingdom in order to progress the fame of your organization. Through your actions, you may be able to impact other factions such as poisoning the village that is about to get visited by the Tax Collector or curing a town of their diseases as the Paladin Order, before the corrupt Consortium has a chance to cash in on their own doing. The King can influential the performance of the factions in multiple ways; through the alteration of income for each faction or through the fame bonuses given to them. But most organizations have the ability to contract assassins to remove the King, hoping the next one in succession will benefit them and their faction.
