Someone takes the throne; the room becomes their subjects, and a facilitator asks them how it would feel to be ruled by this person — kind? just? able to make hard decisions? defend the kingdom? — or asks the ruler for their first decree. One of the oldest authentic relating games, a feedback and power practice at once.
