Reigns: Her Majesty

About

Reigns: Her Majesty follows a queen navigating court intrigue through quick swipes. Players decide kingdom matters by swiping left or right on advisors, events, and crises. Each choice shifts power among factions like nobles, merchants, and clergy. Manage resources, use magical artifacts, and track relationships as alliances shift over decades. The single-player campaign unfolds through hand-drawn cards and dialogue, blending strategy with narrative consequences. The game stands out for its tight decision-making loop and branching outcomes. Developer Nerial refined the swipe mechanic from the 2016 original, adding layered diplomacy and long-term planning. With a 78% critic score on Metacritic, it balances simplicity and depth for casual and tactical players. Released in 2017, it remains a compact yet replayable take on royal survival.
