About this game

** Play Store Most Innovative Game of 2016 **

Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!

Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch. Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.

Ratings and reviews

pretty fun though the controls were a bit confusing/ clunky to me at first and it can be difficult to figure out how to unlock certain storylines. it does get repetitive after a while, but still a pretty decent time killer. i prefer the Her Majesty version even though I'm an adult man lol

It's a fine, unique game that really utilizes the swiping mechanics on phones (or as I like to call it, the Tinder mechanic). You can really lose yourself in this game for a day or so. It's addictive and fun. However, a lot of the puzzles really run by videogame logic, basically, stuff that you could only really have figured out if you yourself are the game programmer or ate willing to put the commitment into this that conspiracy theorists are into conspiracies. I'd still recommend playing

I never wrote reviews, but this game has it all! Strategy, comedy, dark themes, mysteries, and more! Honestly the best card swipe adventure I've ever played! Only con is it is quite confusing to get the "best" ending, but I probably didn't look deep enough. Still super fun to complete even after reading a how-to guide! If you have a spare $3, this is the best thing you could spend it on!
