The starting King has their faction chosen randomly and cannot be accused of treason until day 4. Starting Kings can also use the Order Execution limited-use ability to murder a targeted player.

At the Night Phase, they may summon guards to protect a target (or themself) from enemy attacks ( Guards!). As their faction choice is hidden from all players, they cannot be investigated by other players, do not appear to Unseen/Cult players as part of their faction, are immune to Convert/Brainwash, and cannot be attacked by Blue Dragon classes (or the Alchemist).ĭuring the Day Phase, they have two abilities relating to voting for treason: The Royal Finger (which allows their vote to count twice) and Decide Fate (a limited-use ability that vetos the process entirely, allowing the King himself to decide whether the accused is executed or pardoned). Unlike other classes, every game begins with one player as the King: a powerful Special class who secretly belongs to one of the three random factions that are currently in-play.
