Reigns

Features

For new players

The story mainly goes on by answering the questions on cards by swiping left or right. When questions get tricky, a single "yes" or "no" may not be the proper answer. Under such circumstances, you can slightly swipe it towards each direction to see the provided answers in advance which may help you to make a reasonable decision. Your reign length mostly depends on choices you make, in other words, you may die and get replaced by the new king because of a decision. Besides the cards, there are several missions for you to complete, like recruiting soldiers, building churches, etc.

The main concern is to keep the balance of the four powers ensuring them neither weak nor too powerful, or you may be in danger of being overthrown. The crucifix represents the church; the human figure stands for the people; the sword represents the military, and the dollar icon represents the treasury.

Interesting things like dialogs with various advisors and visitors can show up may show up. There are still some dark subplots ambushed in secret. It gets dangerous when the entire nation is out of the resource, then you have to find the key to the exit.
