Kings & Castles is a board game published in 1980 by Athena Games. The game casts two to eight players as rival monarchs competing for control of a fantasy realm, combining territorial expansion with direct military conflict between competing kingdoms. Players build up their holdings, raise armies and contest castles and territory against the other rulers at the table, with the eventual winner emerging as the dominant crown in the setting. Contemporary reviewers praised the game for its replay value and the genuine strategic tension of its multi player format, at a time when most competing fantasy war games were built for exactly two opponents rather than a full table of rival kings.
