Kingmaker is a term referred to during the middle ages whereby nobles would conspire to interfere in the sucession to the thrones of kingdoms, either by political or religious means, or by more overt tactics sometimes amounting to undeclared war.
Kingmaker is a board game set in the time of approximately the Wars of the Roses in England, whereby the players each control offices of state and nobles as they try to beat the others to meet the criteria to become the sole pretender to the throne, and therefore the king.
