In 'Family Matters' king of the kingdom is dying. He has no heirs and will on his deathbed give his crown to one of heads of the two possible royal families. Since he has no heirs he wants the next king to have one since the country is weakened by frequent change of royal family.
Now both possible kings want to either keep the King away from the deathbed, by capturing him, or make it look like he has no heirs by kidnapping all of them.
 
 
Two version are included: a regular one that has a board of 160 squares and a small one of 41 squares.
