About 9 Kings

9 Kings is a strategy game about growing a single city into the mightiest realm through an endless mix of buildings, units, spells, and clever positioning. The goal is to outlast every rival kingdom, and the path there runs through chaotic combos and powerful perks that let you bend the rules and turn your kingdom overpowered. Expand thoughtfully, brace for dozens of unique events, and prove your realm can endure decades of war.

Your capital is the engine of it all, evolving from a modest village into a towering citadel that recruits your forces and strengthens them over time. Defending it means fielding a roster of dozens of units, from sturdy knights and warlocks to fragile but deadly wizards, bombers, and swarms of imps and sentient mushrooms. Stockpile gold to hire mercenaries by the thousand, raise the dead with dark magic, or turn nature itself against your foes.

Deckbuilding shapes your whole approach. Each of the nine kings begins with a distinct deck, and by looting rivals who attack your lands you claim cards from their arsenals. Broker peace with kings whose forces don't suit you and wage war on those whose powers you crave, chaining stacking buffs and modifiers into an army that's tough to beat. This PC strategy game rewards experimentation, letting you rule entirely your own way.
