About the game

The king of hearts has five sons is a little-known, but traditional American deduction card game. Its methodology is similar to that of the well-known 1943 board game Cluedo, with game historian Bruno Faidutti writing that the card game may be a predecessor, having been taught the game by an American who recalled playing it in school prior to World War II.
