About this game

***Reigns: Her Majesty has just been crowned with the new Transformation Update with over 200 new cards, new characters, and new ways for her majesty to meet her demise!***

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.

Nerial and Friends: Reigns: Her Majesty is a collaboration between François Alliot (design/programming), Arnaud de Bock (art), Jim Guthrie (music), and Leigh Alexander (narrative director).

Ratings and reviews

It is a lot of freaking fun and I really want to see if there are anymore of these games, because I want to play them all. This game takes me back to the choose your own path adventures, and I always was loved them I am not even done with this one and know I could play it a dozen more times and not be done with all the options. While the game looks simple and plain, it is not. It allows you to go dark, light or a balance. Of course you pay for your choices, but that is what makes it fun.

I absolutely love this game, what a great sequel to the original!! There seems to be endless scenarios and even discovering the deaths is pretty satisfying. The challenge is even more brutal, imo, than the previous game. The balancing system is super finnicky, and I haven't gotten the chance to live until old age yet so, here goes! P.S., definitely buy this game. You'll have a good time.

It's a nicely balanced game with interesting mechanics, but I have some bones to pick. It's difficult to understand steps you are supposed to take to advace the game, especially since many events happen every twelve life cycles. Some story cards happen only once, difficult to differentiate between them and normal ones, and gives little room for not choosing right. The ending was very underwhelming and extremely vague, it's an unsatisfying close. And the AUTO ROTATION, it's an absolute pain.
