DISCLAIMER
This game is set in a fictional and often cruel fantasy world. It was
designed to put you in front of morally challenging situations and
tough choices. Many of the dilemmas you will face involve ethical and
moral choices related to sensitive topics that could upset your sensitivity
or that of the people playing with you, such as injustice, violence,
slavery, and discrimination. By design, the game will occasionally put
you in front of the uncomfortable choice between what you think is
right, and what is best for winning. Remember that this is a just game,
and you’re playing a fictional character. Even if the game world follows
elements of the real world, nothing should be taken as real.
None of the atrocities described in The King’s Dilemma™ are in
any way promoted, encouraged, or even considered as acceptable
by the publisher, designers, scriptwriters, nor the distributors of
this game.
DILEMMA CARD SYSTEM
The King’s Dilemma™ is a Dilemma Card System™
game. The Dilemma Card System™ is a board game
system developed by Horrible Games, allowing for
interactive, narrative game experiences.
A LEGACY-LIKE EXPERIENCE
The King’s Dilemma is a unique interactive narrative experience,
featuring several branching storylines that lead to many possible
endings. The game will also require you to permanently sign cards,
stickers, and player screens, and the game board will also be irreversibly
altered as game events unfold. The number of games you will be able
to play is finite, and it will vary depending on the choices you take
during your adventure. On average, you will play about 15 hours of
gameplay, corresponding to about 15 games. When the story comes
to its end, the game is over and it cannot be reset and played again
from the beginning.
Note: To enjoy the game experience of The King’s Dilemma™ to the
fullest, we strongly suggest that you always play with the same group
of people. However, it’s not a problem if a particular player skips a
few games. The game also provides more House screens than what is
needed for a single match, making it possible to have new people join
an ongoing game (up to a total of 12 people).

KINDS OF CARDS GAME OVERVIEW

In The King’s Dilemma, players become the representatives of various influential families (or “Houses”) and
Story cards members of the King’s Council. Historically, the kings of Ankist always placed an absolute trust in their Council,
so the real power lies in their hands: they are the real leaders of the government of Ankist.

Note: It can be useful to read all the available Story cards at the beginning of each game, to remind all players
of the events that occurred in the past in your kingdom, and who was responsible for them. It is extremely
recommended to do so if you’re introducing new players into an ongoing campaign!

Assign Open Agendas
For each Resource, check the signatures on the stickers attached to the Chronicle area of the Realm board.
The player participating in the current game who signed the most recent Positive Chronicle sticker for that
Resource (i.e., the one with the fewest marks on it) receives the corresponding Positive Open Agenda token.
In case of a tie, the player who signed the rightmost sticker among the ones that are tied wins the tie. The
player participating in the current game who signed the most recent Negative Chronicle sticker for that
resource receives the corresponding Negative Open Agenda token. In case of a tie, the player who signed
the rightmost sticker among the ones that are tied wins the tie. Stickers signed by players not participating
in the current game are ignored during this step.
Place any Open Agenda tokens you have received
in front of your House screen, so that all players
can always see them. Open Agenda tokens will
contribute to your end game score, determining the
winner of each single game (see page 30).
Each player can only be assigned up to 2 Positive
Open Agenda tokens and up to 2 Negative Open
Agenda tokens during a single game. If a player is
assigned more, at the end of this step, they must
choose which 2 they want to keep, and discard the
rest. The Open Agenda tokens discarded in this way
are not assigned to any player during this game,
and can be put back into the box.
Note: It can be useful to read the available Chronicle
stickers at the beginning of each game, to remind
all players of the events that occurred in the past in
your kingdom, and who was responsible for them. It
is extremely recommended that you do so if you’re
introducing new players into an ongoing campaign!

card covers the old one, the old special ability is
immediately deactivated.

The game is played in rounds, with each round divided into 5 phases:
1. Draw and Read a Card from the Dilemma Deck.
2. Place the Outcome Tokens on the Balance.
3. Vote of the Council.
4. Vote Resolution.
5. Dilemma Resolution.
They are all related to the card drawn from the Dilemma deck at the beginning of the round. In most cases
this will be a Dilemma card that will describe a problem the kingdom faces, then it will ask you a question
that you will have to simply answer either AYE or NAY through a vote (see page 16). The card will then be
flipped over, revealing the consequences of the choice you have made (see page 23).
At the end of the round, the drawn card will be put on the Time Counter to mark the passage of time, then a
new round will start by drawing another card from the Dilemma deck. The game can end in two ways:
• The King Abdicates if reaches either end of the Stability Track (for more about Stability, see page 24).
• The King Dies if the card was placed on the final space of the Time Counter and certain conditions are
met (see page 29).
The score for each player is determined by their Secret Agenda cards (see page 30) and their Open Agenda
tokens (see page 32). Bonus Agenda Points are also awarded for the players with the most Power and/

B. Moving Resources and Stability and Updating Momentum

The main outcome of a Dilemma card is moving Resource markers up or down. For example, if a Dilemma
card says “+3 ,” you must move the Influence marker up 3 spaces. If it says “-3 ,” you’ll have to move the
marker down 3 spaces instead. Outcome effects must be resolved one at a time, from left to right, as shown
on the Dilemma card. In addition to the moves due to the outcome of the Dilemma card, you may also need In this example, the outcome of a Dilemma card makes the
Morale Resource marker go down 2, while Knowledge must go

must still be moved the full number of spaces; If the Stability marker reaches either end of the Stability Track,
on the other hand, the King Abdicates and the end of the game is triggered at the end of the round (after all
phases of the current round have been completed, including step F of the Dilemma Resolution, see page 28).
The Stability marker, however, does not move any more, even if there are other Resource markers to move. C. Apply Chronicle Stickers
Momentum When the outcome of a card shows a symbol like , you need to attach a Chronicle sticker to the Realm

The Common People: With their numbers and
resiliency, they are the backbone of the kingdom. They
mostly have humble jobs like farming, woodcutting,
tailoring, or mining. They do not own any significant
wealth and the fruits of their work serve them just to
get by. Their interests are defended by the Tribune, an
elected figure with a mandate of ten years who reports
the problems of the common people to the Council.

through a specific ritual: it is said that the Mother
herself guides this decision. While not considered
divine herself, the Prior Mother deals with doctrinal
issues and is considered the voice of the Mother
in our world. Another extremely important figure of
the Circle of the Blessed is the Holy Attendant, who
deals with material problems of the Cult and often
sits on the Council, to report on Cult-related issues.
Justice
With the conviction that each wrong must be
followed by an equal and opposite reaction to
restore balance, justice in the kingdom of Ankist is
commonly based on the law of retaliation: the more
serious the felony, the more harsh the punishment. The
more common crimes are dealt with by local judges,
although the duke, marquis, or even the king may be
consulted to ask for a pardon. On the other hand, the
most ambiguous cases are brought to the attention of
the First Judge, an expert and wise man of law at the
head of the Justice Court of Lybra, who studies these
matters and submits their advice to the Council.

The Rest of the Known World
Despite Ankist being one of the most influential and powerful kingdoms of the world, it is not the only one.
Two continents are known to the people of Ankist: the northern continent of Lywik, where the kingdom of
Ankist is, and the mostly unknown southern continent, only known for the fierce Ivory Desert and the tales
and legends shared by the few foreign travelers venturing to our lands.
The Kingdom of Mhuir
Ankist shares a border with Mhuir to the northwest. The two kingdoms used to be almost comparable in size
a few decades back, but Mhuir is now much smaller after they lost a war against Ankist in the year 143. Still,
THE
TRIB
UNE it is culturally and technologically more advanced.
The Kingdom of Cidlada
The small and poor kingdom of Cidlada, to the south of Ankist, does not
really have much to offer. Despite being completely harmless, it has not yet
been conquered by any of its neighbours only because its stingy lands are
even more onerous to administer than they would be easy to conquer.
The Republic of Kauppias
The Republic of Kauppias, despite ruling over the cold and rocky territories
located to the northeast of the Kingdom of Ankist, has commercial abilities
beyond imagination that more than compensate for the harshness of their
TTEND
ANT homeland. Their leader, the Doge, is elected every five years among
OLY A
THE H the most talented merchants, and despite having only limited powers,
THE PRIO
R MOTHE they are the head of their army of mercenaries and, most importantly,
they can veto the decisions of the Bank of Cards, one of the most
R
influential banks in the whole world.
The Kasuk Empire
Beyond the Cheile Sea, the Kasuk Empire extends its territories for
miles and miles to the distant east. Most of its territories are barren
steppes, frozen in winter and impossible to farm, therefore the majority
of its population lives on the coasts of the Cheile Sea, particularly in
the Placid Waters Gulf. The Emperor, always accompanied by his
personal guard composed of the best fighters from the north, lives
in opulence and luxury just like his bureaucrats and nobles, while
their subjects are miserable and beaten down.
The Southern Continent
Besides the coastal city-states, the southern continent is barely
explored. The inland is apparently wholly occupied by a vast
desert called the Ivory Desert, where no one can live, while
a tall mountain range called the Nebula Mountains cross it
from north to south, splitting it into two halves.

The Cult of the Mother
The Cult of the Mother is the only religion in the kingdom of Ankist and in most of the other known lands.The
Mother is considered the only true goddess, and she is worshipped as a benevolent figure together with her
eight Saint Daughters. However, especially in remote places, paganism is sometimes still present, but the Cult
treats it as superstition, claiming that the pagan gods are likely misinterpretations of the Saint Daughters.
Dogma
The religion of the Cult is based on the fact that all is created and regenerated by the Mother. When you die,
you go back to the Mother’s womb where you will be regenerated before being born again. Birth and death
are equally important: birth can’t be prevented in any way and corpses must be buried in order to go back
to the Mother. The Cult claims that the Mother once walked in this world in human form to elevate humanity
above the beasts, but she was not human.
This dogmatic truth has been questioned by several heretical theories in the past. A famous heresy theorized
the existence of a “Ninth Daughter,” and claimed that the Mother was not an immortal goddess, but just
the empress of an ancient civilization, part of a matrilineal dynasty where the ninth daughter would inherit
command. Another heresy asserts that the Saint Daughters are as divine as the Mother: they would actually
be her sisters, and the Mother herself would be the aforementioned ninth. Yet another one says that the Saint
Daughters were actually the ancient pagan gods who were defeated by the Mother and submitted to her will.
These heresies are all vigorously denied by the Cult.
The Eight Saint Daughters of the Mother
The Cult worships the Mother and her Saint Daughters as a unity, but commoners may ask the favor of a
specific Daughter according to what they need. The Saint Daughters have a dual nature: They each represent
a virtue they gifted to the world and the avoidance of a vice that could be fostered by an excess of that same
virtue. In this sense, the Saint Daughters represent harmony and balance. Those who seek courage without
recklessness will pray to Tilde. Those who seek strength and vigor without violence will pray to Orsal. Those
who pray to Aegna will have wisdom and avoid folly. Those who seek creativity,
arts, and games will pray to Lyria, who will tell them when playfulness must
stop. Aire is the patron of love, but she is mindful to avoid jealousy. Those
who need their business to thrive will ask Raela to intercede for them
and they will be granted wealth as long as they are generous with it.
Caerthas brings justice, but always with mercy. Those who seek rest
or think they deserve to feast after a great effort will pray to Myhir,
without ending in laziness.
Structure of the Cult
The Cult of the Mother only allows women to join its ranks. The
priestesses of the Cult informally call each other “Sisters” and live
in monasteries. Priestesses can indulge in romantic relationships
and have children, but they usually do not marry, even if it is not
formally forbidden. They can raise their daughters at the monasteries
until they reach puberty, then the girls can chose to become priestesses
themselves or to leave. If a priestess gives birth to a son, he will be have
to be raised by his father, outside of the monastery.
41
The monasteries are of different sizes and shapes, but all of them, from the smallest village monastery
made of only two rooms to the biggest ones which can host up to hundreds of priestesses, have a public
space, where all the believers gather and assist in the rites, and a private space, where the priestesses live
and perform special rituals. Only priestesses can enter this space, but while lay women may occasionally be
welcomed as guests, access is never allowed to men. The biggest monasteries are lead by an elected figure
called the High Priestess.
History of the World
At the present time, Ankist is one of the strongest and largest kingdoms in the world, and has enjoyed several
decades of peace. But less than two centuries ago it was divided into many small kingdoms and raider
tribes. Little is known about what happened before this age of fragmentation, but what we know for sure
is that the lands of the current Kingdom of Ankist, as well as most of the other known lands, were ruled by
several lost civilizations throughout the ages. The monumental vestiges they left behind are present in most
of the cities of the kingdom.
The Salaan Union (around 800 years ago)
All that remains of this great civilization are a few vestiges on the coasts of both the Siar Ocean and the Cheile
Sea, such as gigantic lighthouses in ruins or shipyards readapted throughout the centuries and still in use in
some cities of the kingdom. Some say that in ancient times their rule spanned over the whole world.
The Sabbiyan League (around 1100 years ago)
Older ruins are present across the south of Ankist. Many market squares in the southern cities are built around
these structures, and a few obelisks made from sculpted sandstone survived the test of time. The bas-relief
scenes represented on these obelisks mainly depict scenes of trade, suggesting that commerce was the main
strength of this civilization.
The First King (around 1400 years ago)
Historians agree that all of the most ancient and timeworn monasteries of our kingdom (and beyond) were built
by Ommad, the legendary First King, a historical yet almost mythical figure. His rule allegedly spanned over
the whole world, and even though it ended hundreds of years before our kingdom was even born, our royal
family claims to have a direct lineage from him. At the present time, he’s praised more for bringing the Cult
of the Mother to our continent and converting the northern pagan tribes than for his considerable military
successes. He was so illustrious, that every state claims to be his birthplace.
Mythical History
Some historians suspect there was another forgotten Empire that might have been the cradle of civilization.
This belief comes from the many spurious copies of a legendary artifact that has been lost for centuries, called
the Golden Map. We’ve been seeking this item for decades to no avail.
