Like the original, this is a simple but effective, even sometimes humorous, card game that's never the same twice. Starting in the year A.D. 1000, Reigns: Her Majesty has you cast as the Queen, making decisions that impact both your kingdom and your subjects. By swiping left or right, you decide what to do, or not do, as well as what to say and how to say it -- all of which can impact various aspects of your kingdom. Just be careful; anger too many of your subjects, or blow through all your money, and your decision-making days will be over. But while this is a simple game, it manages to keep you engaged (and on your toes) by mixing things up, and even having unforeseen events ruin your weekend plans. As for how this differs from the original, switching from a king to a queen obviously changes what you do and how you're treated, while a new inventory system gives you some backup options in times of crisis. Though, really, it's the same game ... in the way The Simpsons is always the same show. It's just hard not to wonder what this would be like if the people didn't all sound like aliens from a Star Wars movie. Even so, with a batty sense of humor, some unpredictability, but a still solid mechanic at the core, Reigns: Her Majesty is everything a wannabe monarch would want from a card game.
