skelebone: Isn't King Maker a Play-Dough product?
CortexBomb: I thought it was an issue with many gamers wherein one person has to arbitrarily determine the winner...if it originated with King Maker, which I assume it did, then I would say it doesn't matter which category it falls into, because it has a serious flaw
ynnen: It's a gaming problem
Spielfreak: While there is some combat, it's not the central goal of the game. I'd consider this more of a strategy boardgame.
