[[File:Perks menu.png|400px|right|thumb|Selecting perks for the King of '''Nothing''']] Each [[king]] has a level. At the end of each [[run]] it will gain experience based on the number of years played, regardless of whether the [[run]] was successful or not. After a [[king]] gains enough experience it will level up, which unlocks a perk that can be assigned to one of the king's 9 perk slots. Perks are permanent bonuses that apply to every [[run]]. They can be reset at any time between runs.

There are 3 types of perks:
*Universal perks, available to all kings.
*King perks, available only to the chosen king.
*Rainbow perks, available to all kings and unlocked every third level.

A new perk unlocks every time a king levels up, alternating between Universal and King perks with every level up. Additionally, every third level threshold reached for the first time (level 3, level 6, level 9, etc.) unlocks a Rainbow perk.

Before starting a run, up to 9 perks can be activated by placing them in slots from the pool of unlocked perks, with the option to unlock additional slots by assigning the Rainbow perk Expander.

76561198107421680: /* King of Nomads cards */

Each king has 9 possible cards. Each game will start with 3 cards from the selected [[king]]. After each battle you can gain a card from the defeated [[king]]. The cards can be rerolled but the cost increases by 10 Gold with each reroll and usually the cards will be from the same [[king]]. Cards can also be purchased from [[merchants]] for the cost of 30 Gold, increased by 15 for each card bought from the same merchant.

In addition to the king cards, there are 4 special cards available for purchase from merchants. Points can be spent on the Lucky [[perks|perk]] to increase the chance of special cards appearing in merchant shops.

The King of Greed perk Peddler provides free merchant card purchases and the King of Greed [[Royal Council|royal decree]] Bargain halves the cost of purchasing merchant cards.

The Persistent perk provides additional free re-rolls for both after-battle and merchant card selections. The Outsourcing royal decree provides 9 free re-rolls.

You can throw cards from your hand into the well to discard them but recover 9 Gold per card. The King of Greed royal decree salvage triples the amount of gold returned from discards.

You can only play or discard one card before each battle, excluding cards obtained from the merchant.

After each battle a number will appear over each plot, showing how much damage they dealt during the last battle.

==Card types==
There are six types of cards: base, troop, tower, building, enchantment, and tome.

* [[File:Card type kingdom.png]] The base card is the first card placed on a [[run]]. A life will be lost if any enemy unit reaches the base plot during a battle, and the run is lost if an enemy unit reaches it during the final battle on year 33. During battle their attack can be manually triggered or set to auto fire.
* [[File:Card type troop.png]] Troops are mobile combat units that engage enemy units in battle.
* [[File:Card type tower.png]] Towers are structures that attack or apply effects during battles. They are indestructible and with the exception of the Flamethrower they are immobile during battle.
* [[File:Card type building.png]] Buildings provide a variety of effects, including troop and tower buffs, summoning troops, and more. The Overwork Royal Decree can be selected multiple times to increase the number of times buildings apply their effects.
* [[File:Card type spell.png]] Tomes are played on occupied plots to provide a variety of advantages for the player.
* [[File:Card type stack.png]] Enchantments can be played on troops multiple times to provide units with a variety of stacking bonuses. The Re-enchant Royal Decree can be selected multiple times to double the enchantments on all active troops.

With the exception of the Lab Rat troop, which has no level cap, every troop, tower, and building card comes in three levels. Base cards have three levels but the Ingenious perk can raise their level cap to nine.

Base cards, troops, towers, and buildings are played on empty plots and can be upgraded to the next level by playing another card of the same type on the same plot. Additionally, the Concabulator building, Clone, Overhaul, and Wildcard tomes, and Gentrify royal decree can level up cards. Lab Rat troops level up whenever adjacent plots level up and their level can be doubled by selecting the Splicing Royal Decree. The Pagan, Pollinator, Scholar, and Warden perks can start a run with specific cards pre-leveled.

When a new game is started only the King of '''Nothing''' will be available. Other kings can be unlocked by reaching various milestones while playing. Progress towards unlocking each king carries over between [[run]]s. Each king has 9 [[cards]], 9 [[perks]], its own [[royal decrees]]. The choice of king also affects the color of the UI, the background music and the visual appearance of the map.
