First reading taken Aug 9, 2026 — the chart appears once there are two.

Only the games with a PC port appear here, but where Steam does report it is a real concurrent-player count rather than a proxy for one.

Not tracked for Take the King!: Google Play, App Store, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch. A platform appears here once the game has a link to it — most mobile games have no Steam port or subreddit, so a gap is normal rather than a sign the game is small.

Storyline

The august chessboard crumbles. The millennia-old battlefield, foundation of all laws, has been desecrated. Is the era of symmetrical confrontations over? How to govern a crumbling kingdom? How to restore the balance of all things? First victim of this cataclysm, will the brave King be able to survive in his quest for great harmony?
