You play a queen navigating the politics and personal demands of a kingdom, where each decision affects your reign and the future of your dynasty.
Respond to requests and events by swiping left or right on character cards. Keep the kingdom’s powerful factions in balance as you make choices that can help or endanger your rule.
Find and upgrade five mystical items to use on character cards, changing situations and opening special story paths. Royal challenges set goals for each new monarch and unlock additional cards and directions for the narrative.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its replayable trial-and-error choices, humorous writing, and the way special items add new interactions to the card-based decisions. Some also like the added variety of events and the chance to uncover more options over repeated reigns. Other reviewers find the choices and item effects hard to read, and say that repeated events, sudden deaths, or unclear objectives can make progress frustrating.
Reigns: Her Majesty is the revolutionary follow-up to the smash swipe ‘em up hit Reigns. A cultural renaissance has bestowed the world with a new era of knowledge and enlightenment but greed and jealousy still conspire against the benevolent queen. Outwit and outlast those that would seek to depose you and your husband by swiping left or right, making just (or unjust) decisions on all manner of royal matters. Maintain the balance between the kingdom’s most powerful factions, use mystical items from your inventory, and navigate the increasingly complex politics and personal relationships of your dynasty.
New Kingdom, New Drama: Your royal decrees and unpredictable requests of the people will shape both your time on the throne and the future of your dynasty. Carefully navigate the foolish politics and emotional pleas of the kingdom’s eccentric subjects to find balance between the most powerful factions of the land.
Mystical Inventory: Find and upgrade five special items in a new inventory system. Use your powerful items on character cards and unlock special paths in the ever more complex narrative of your kingdom.
Royal Challenges: Reach specific goals set before each new monarch’s reign to unlock new sets of cards and new directions to take the story of your dynasty.
