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.
