Royal Adviser

About

Royal Adviser is a strategy game where you play a royal courtier scheming to overthrow the king. Each round you juggle hidden objectives, push policies, and manipulate the monarchy’s daily decisions. Players secretly form alliances, gather intel on opponents, and strategically betray allies to gain influence. The game uses card play and timed actions to control the kingdom’s direction while hiding your true goals. Matches typically last 20-30 minutes with 3-5 players. The game thrives on social deduction and shifting loyalties. Every decision pressures others to adapt, creating tense negotiations and sudden power shifts. Community reviews highlight its balance of strategy and bluffing, with a 7.8/10 rating on Board Game Geek. The Nintendo Switch port makes it easy to play in short sessions, though deeper tactics emerge with repeated plays. The blend of quick gameplay and political intrigue works well for groups that enjoy competitive backstabbing.
