King's Court Lives Again!

A fantastic card game was invented in the 1970s, and was marketed for a short time in the 1980s, by a small company from Louisville Kentucky. Hasbro bought the game from them, only to kill the game and take it off the market. That was a very sad day for all us happy King's Court fans.

  1. To create the game, you will need a few things:

    1. Blank/Blank 6-up coatable card sheets.

    2. Spray on coating.

    3. A box for the cards.

  2. Then go get this ZIP file:

    http://www.fileswap.com/share/562bdc4f5f72460e8e0dd97fbf1a7c2b/KingsCourtPhoenixEdition.zip.html

    Burn it to CD or DVD, and follow the instructions.

    I personally created 8-copies of the game, kept 2-for myself, and the rest given to family and friends.

  7. I had the game when I was a kind in the 80s and loved it. Found a full deck at a yard sale a few years ago and introduced it to my wife and kids, and we loved it. My now teenage son took it to a friend's house to play and it has disappeared :(
    The entire family is saddened.
    I found your blog googling to see if I could find a copy somewhere to buy!
