Play as King Gary, a medieval British monarch who hates his job. Gary was once a happy peasant, content to farm all his life, but then his neighbors decided to make him run in the new election for a king. After literally winning by a landslide, King Gary now has to make the really tough decisions all British kings have to make, all while trying to get kicked out of office so he can go back to being a peasant.

IMPORTANT Occasionally the wealth and love will say NAN (Not A Number). I don't know why this happens, please just reload the page again.

Instructions are in-game.Screenshot 2022-10-03 170135.pngScreenshot 2022-10-03 170152.png

haha i liked the art and silliness of this game a lot. unfortunately i kept getting NaN around question 5 or 6, and wasn't really able to progress in the game like I wanted to. loved the monty python reference!

@SeanSmeedComposer Thanks for playing! I am aware of the bug and I will fix it if I can when I get the chance today.

Interesting take on the game "Reigns". I really like the art though. A little bit of music would have been nice.

Yeah, all my playthroughs ended up with NaN so I couldn't reach any conclusion, but overall it's funny. Not gonna lie, the requests from French soldiers were unexpected!

@NiceKot They're references to the movie Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail.

Unfortunately I kept getting the NaN issue but played enough to get the gist :) Cute game, lots of fast clicking haha.

Mostly i enjoyed the humor. Unfortunately "NAN" jumped me in the middle of the game.
But at least I enjoyed the absurd requests.

I like the concept, but I keep getting NaN as a score. Quick funny play :)

Interesting take on the Reigns concept, I also saw the NaN issue.

Love the Reigns/Sort the Court/[that FilmCow game about the cat being king] aspect - humour is great, art is charming. NaN score issue was annoying but once that's fixed it's a great little title :)

@BlushingCrow @Matt-Ravenhall @Vivat-vector @PicusBGames Thank you all for playing! Really sorry about the NaN issue, but I'm not sure what's causing it unfortunately.

Loved the humour in there!!

But like other, the Nan issue plagued my playtroughs... :k

Please let me know if you fix it, I'll gladly play another round!

This was hilarious and I loved it.
Unfortunately the evil NAN kept finding me. ;-;

Other than that bug, very well done. It was fun and witty. :D

I appreciated the humor, and the quick decision making, but the NaN bug made it hard to play until the end.

I love the idea that it's like "PEOPLE JUST WON'T STOP GIVING ME LOVE MAKE IT STOP" which really makes it enjoyable; I find myself sitting there saying "NO. GO AWAY." out loud. I think there should be more cards, some sarcastic music, and yeah that dang NaN bug really throws a wrench in it. Really funny though and a great submission!
