Reigns v05.10.2018

Reigns is a smart, surprisingly deep “swipe‑left or swipe‑right” strategy game that lets you play as a medieval monarch trying to keep your kingdom—and dynasty—on track. At its core, it’s simple: each card presents a request, dilemma or event, and your single-finger decision swings the power balance among the Church, the people, the army and the treasury. Too much strength in one faction and your reign ends—often abruptly and memorably.

The unpredictable nature of each year’s request is what makes Reigns so addictive. One moment you’re blessing priests to boost the Church, the next you’re executing traitors to pacify the army—only to realize you’ve bankrupted your coffers. Every choice has consequences, and even the best‑planned reign can be toppled by a surprise event or a fresh wave of peasant revolts.

Beyond mere survival, the Dynasty Expansion turns your legacy into a long‑running saga. As centuries roll on, you’ll confront witch‑hunts, scientific revolutions, high‑stakes diplomacy and even the Devil himself. Each time you die, a new ruler from your bloodline inherits the struggle, unlocking new cards and storylines that keep the experience endlessly fresh.

Reigns also challenges you with specific “Royal Challenges” at the start of each reign. Hit these targets—whether it’s reaching a certain wealth level, maintaining harmony among factions, or triggering rare events—and you earn permanent kingdom upgrades and cosmetic rewards.

All of this is wrapped in a striking minimalist art style, backed by Disasterpeace’s evocative soundtrack. The visuals are bold and whimsical, the music perfectly balances whimsy with the weight of power. If you’re looking for a game that’s easy to pick up yet endlessly engaging—where every swipe feels momentous—Reigns delivers a regal, addictive experience.
