kings
Rulers of realms
Kings is the plural of king—monarchs who rule kingdoms.
Chess players capture kings, card games rank them high, and checkers crown pieces that reach the back row.
In casual speech, kings can mean dominant figures in any domain: the kings of Wall Street, the kings of comedy. (Capitalized Kings refers to biblical books or sports teams.)
