Viva il Re Released for the iPhone

Stefano Luperto’s Viva il Re! from dV Giochi was released in 2003 – and published in English as King Me! from Mayfair Games – but as with many “old” titles, the design has been transformed into an app for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

For those who haven’t played the game, here’s a brief description: The king is retiring, and each of the 3-6 players has a list of characters – the cook, the artist, etc. – who they want to see in the king’s place. Players take turns placing characters on levels of the castle; once they’ve all been placed, they then take turns moving characters up levels one at a time. If a character is placed in the king’s throne at the top of the castle, everyone votes on whether that character becomes king. If any person uses one of their four “No” votes, the character is removed and worth no points; if all the votes are “Yes,” the game ends, and each player scores points based on the height of all of their characters. The player with the most points wins.

In the iPhone version of Viva il Re!, the game uses 2-5 AI opponents to play against you, and the game lasts either one or three rounds. You can view the game on iTunes for more details.
