ALL THE KING'S MEN (Microgame)
A downloadable game
— A PORTABLE WARGAME OF FANTASY BATTLES FOR TWO PLAYERS, requiring only the use of a single pack of playing cards and suitable for smaller kitchen tables, long ferry journeys and Sunday afternoons in the pub.
In particular, this game represents a method of satisfying one’s wargaming urge in public without attracting undue bemusement or comment from the uninitiated. To the untrained eye, a game of ALL THE KING’S MEN shall likely appear to be two friends labouring, somewhat untidily, over a game of solitaire.

6 Pages. Written while working on Hobgoblin, drunk on reading too many Donald Featherstone era wargaming books. Cover image: The Battle of Nicaea in 1097 by Gustave Dore (1877).
