Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Area Control — Points are gained through area control based on the number of checkers in matching regions as determined by drawn cards.
  • Capture — Jumping over an opponent's piece captures it.
  • card drafting — A card is drawn at the end of each turn, and when it reaches the end of a track, it is resolved for scoring.
  • Checkers movement — Players make two checkers moves with different pieces, including diagonal movement, jumping over single checkers, or chaining jump moves. Pieces can move forwards or backwards.
  • kinging — A piece is kinged when it enters a space with a crown or jumps an opposing king. Kings count as two pieces and break ties.

Quotes (from this video)
  • King me resolves this pesky issue marrying the well-known mechanisms of checkers with a variable area control game played on a 14 by 14 grid
  • Most of the game's points are gained through area control
  • Holding a king's crown is also worth 10 points at the end of the game giving players an incentive to gain and defend the Crown's
