It is 1950. World War II is over, but its memory still lingers. The great European empires are withdrawing their remaining troops from the Middle East, leaving behind a power vacuum. In their place, new leaders have clawed their way to power, each ruling over an emerging empire as military tensions once again begin to rise. Now it s your turn to rise, wield your power, and claim victory in a game where only the strong survive. In King of the Middle East, each player takes control of a country in the Middle East. A game starter is chosen, and players take turns in clockwise order after the previous player has completed their turn. The objective is to conquer cities controlled by your opponents while defending your own. The game ends when one player controls all six capital cities and declares total victory.
