FOR THE QUEEN

A collaborative storytelling card game of love, betrayal, doubt, and devotion

AVAILABLE NOW

Darrington Press has entered its queen era—on the heels of Queen by Midnight, we are thrilled to declare that our next game is a new edition of the beloved storytelling game For the Queen by Diana Jones Award-winning Alex Roberts, now available at:

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? In the end, will you stand for or against her?
 
Many of us at Darrington Press have enjoyed the first edition of For the Queen—it’s perfect for playing at conventions and for quick drop-in games, as it’s no-prep and teaches the game as you play! We had the chance to work with Alex Roberts on Till the Last Gasp and are deeply honored to work with her again and give For the Queen a complete visual redesign, all-new art from talented artists, an easy-to-use new box, and refined card prompts!

A Scintillating New Edition

We worked with original designer Alex Roberts to refine the game and give it a completely new visual design, added cards and Queen illustrations, more elegant packaging, and all-new illustrations from a diverse team of talented artists. 

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 unique illustrated Queens to inspire you, and taking place in any genre or setting you choose, you’ll never tell the same tale twice.
