Description
From the introduction:
All men must face death at some point in their lives. Most face it when their bodies rot, locking them in fleshy coffins of withered skin and brittle bone. I faced it on the battlefield, in 1915. I remember quite clearly the bullet striking my head, the sudden flash of red light. I died, my life snuffed out in an instant.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Individual player challenges — In the second phase, heroes are split to fight individual versions of Kang, forcing them to act independently without player interaction.
- Multi-phase fight — The game features a unique three-phase fight structure against Kang, which is distinct from typical two-phase villain encounters.
- nemesis encounter — At the end of phase three, the player's Nemesis comes out, adding another layer of difficulty.
- Obligations — Kang can place cards from a player's deck under an 'obligation', which requires an action or resource to remove.
- Stolen memories — A specific effect called 'stolen memories' takes the top cards of a player's deck and requires a resource in alter ego mode to retrieve them.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, whenever you're playing against Kang you start off with Kang in a like weaker form. He just kind of shows up and he's not really that big of a deal but then when you defeat him the second phase splits up all the heroes individually.
- Because when you're by yourself you can't interact with one another in any way which makes sense. You're ripped into a different version of of time. You have no way to interact with the other players and I like that.
- The things that Kang does really ramp up very quickly and get and gets out of hand. Uh and that's every single person having to deal with that themselves.
- They are disgusting. They are very, very difficult, I feel.
- But with Kang, because of the multi-phase fight, it feels like it's an epic showdown.
- The Once and Future King is going to get an eight out of 10 for me. Really enjoy it.
