Rumors say that the superintendent of finances on the king's court is in poor health and will soon pass away. The new vacancy could be really appealing, but only one person will be needed to fill the position of the deceased superintendent. It is the best time for a secret confrontation to begin. In Ucho Króla (a.k.a. King's Ear), the deceitful courtiers will do everything they can to pin back their competitor's ears and improve their position in the eyes of the King. No holds barred! Each struck at opponent's delicate place, every plot and prompt to the right ears will bring you closer to the coveted goal. Every sarcasm, irony or cutting retort to someone's machinations should cut like a rapier to pave the way to even bigger riches. The title of superintendent will provide unlimited access to the King's treasury from which something may disappear...not only for satisfying the King's needs.
The aim of the game is to get most prestige points by weaving intrigues, ruining the authorities of other players and demonstrating tact and good manners.
