The Chamberlain is searching the realm for a new "Craftmaster to the King" and hosts a contest for all of the smiths and crafters in the land. The first to forge four items from a list of the King's favorite weapons and trinkets will be honored as First Among Crafters and Smiths. But look out, because the other crafters and smiths will try to outdo you at every opportunity. Are you ready to forge your destiny?

In King's Forge, players are craftsmen and craftswomen looking to become the favorite of the King. A variety of dice represent the raw materials (metal, wood, gems, and enchantment) and those same dice can be used to get new dice and purchase roll-modifiers, or saved and rolled in an attempt to meet the requirements to craft the items on the King's list. An early lead is not a definite path to victory and other players will out-maneuver and out-build you whenever possible. Careful dice management, advance planning, fierce competition, and nail-biting luck will take you to winner's circle.
