KINGSHIFT|Product Description

Betrayal chains into a dramatic reversal!

KINGSHIFT is a two‑player strategy game built from just 16 cards.  

Each turn, you reveal a card to the board while secretly placing another face‑down,  

creating constant mind games, predictions, and bluffing.

The core mechanic is Shift—turning a card to change its allegiance.  

When a card shifts, its ability triggers again, often causing another shift…  

and another…  

until a chain of betrayal flips the entire board.

- Deep strategy from only 16 cards  

- Face‑down placement creates bluffing and psychological play  

- Shift combos enable dramatic comebacks  

- A dynamic 4×4 board you build as you play  

- 5–10 minutes per match  

Every card has a moment to shine, and even a losing position can explode into victory.  

KINGSHIFT delivers the tension of chess in a compact, portable form.
