What it is
Reigns: Her Majesty is a strategy game developed by Nerial and released in 2017. Players rule as a queen, responding to royal matters and requests by swiping left or right to make decisions. Those choices affect the kingdom’s powerful factions as well as the dynasty’s future and personal relationships. The game also centers on managing a mystical inventory: players can find and upgrade five special items, then use them on character cards to open narrative paths. Each new monarch faces specific goals, with completion unlocking additional card sets and story directions. Its setting places a cultural renaissance alongside greed, jealousy, and political maneuvering aimed at the queen and her husband. Steam lists single-player, achievements, partial controller support, and Family Sharing. The game is available on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and its Steam genres include casual, indie, and simulation.
