Hear ye, hear ye: Your Grace is primed for her voyage, and has chosen you to accompany her! For the Queen is a card-driven collaborative storytelling game that invites you to tell a dramatic narrative about a Queen’s journey with you, her companions. What will you learn about her (and yourself) along the way? And in the end, will you stand for or against her?

Get started by choosing your Queen from among 25 lavishly illustrated Queen cards—or create your own! Launch into gameplay in minutes with the guided Rules cards, then read and answer the Question cards to develop a world, your characters, and their relationships with each other and the Queen. Ultimately, answer the final question: when your Queen is attacked, do you defend her? 

This is the second edition of the beloved indie storytelling game created by Alex Roberts, a Diana Jones Award-winning designer, with a completely new visual design, more elegant packaging, and added cards and all-new Queen illustrations from a diverse team of talented artists.

What’s Inside:

The 91 cards come in a travel-ready box with a ribbon perfectly placed for easy card removal, making this game ideal for on-the-go gameplay at a convention, around a campfire, or waiting in line at the DMV! With 25 uniquely illustrated Queens to inspire you, and taking place in any genre or setting you choose, you’ll never tell the same tale twice.

Customer Reviews (4.5 / 5 · 4 reviews)

Victoria O. ★★★★★

We played this at a cabin weekend with six people and the storytelling got so intense we lost track of time. The way each card makes you choose between loyalty and ambition keeps everyone guessing. Best $20 I've spent on a game in years.

Emily ★★★★★

Playing this with friends on game night had us laughing and gasping — the collaborative storytelling cards really spark vivid characters and twists.

Sofia I. ★★★★☆

The card prompts pull out way more drama than I expected from our group, and the collaborative storytelling kept everyone leaning in for the whole voyage. Only gripe is that it plays better with four or five people than our usual two.
