"Nine Kings", which combines the elements of empire construction and meat pigeon card construction, is undoubtedly an interesting attempt.Your pixelated kingdom needs to expand and resist hostile factions, but unlike traditional strategy games, you don't need to collect resources, grow population or train skills - the fate of the kingdom is in your "hand".As the next potential work of Hooded Horse, the publisher of "Manor Lord" and "Cattle of Disasters", "Nine Kings" has been available on Steam for early access, and its debut has sparked a craze.

In "Nine Kings", the player starts with a blank ground grid and the starting hand and places the card on the grid.Cards may be buildings that expand settlements (such as castles), units that participate in battle at the end of each turn, or items that provide buffs.Once the card is placed, the army of the hostile kingdom will march towards your walls – as a meat pigeon game, each randomly generated faction type is one of the variables, so you need to deal with multiple emergencies.

Your army will then enter the battle in a form similar to mini tower defense or automatic combat, and you can also control the placed defensive buildings or items to turn the battle around.For example, you can mark the location and have the castle's trencher throw a boulder.The initial battle is smaller and the pace is slow, but as the process progresses (especially at higher difficulty), the picture becomes extremely chaotic, and hundreds of units may appear on the screen at the same time.When you commit to large-scale battles, the flying damage numbers are a visual wonder.

As the game name shows, players can choose nine kings, each king bringing cards of different themes to the battle.However, if you want to switch gameplay in the process, you can incorporate their unique cards into your deck by plundering other kings defeated in the battle.
