Now Available: Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past
By Royal Decree, Round 2 of the Midnight Tournament, Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past, is available now! The bell tolled Midnight but that was not the end. Please welcome our 4 new Princesses as the tournament continues. Each one brings a new set of tactics, magic, and trickery to this incredible deck-building battle-royale board game, and they fight beautifully against each other as a standalone game OR when combined with the original Queen by Midnight game.
Find Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past at Darrington Press Guild stores, other friendly local game stores, or Critical Role online shops today (where you’ll find great deals and bundles on our Queenly games as part of our Critmas Sale!):
Darrington Press Guild stores will have limited amounts of promo cards if you purchase your copy of our first expansion game in person! The promo cards are special foil versions of all the Princess Ultimate cards, art by Mike Pape.
Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past is our first expansion game! Bring four new challengers to your already standing Midnight tournament or start the tournament with this expansion, which is built to be a great standalone experience and introduction to the game. Or is your tournament a little more personal? Is there only one Princess you need to have a conversation with? Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past introduces retroactive 2 player rules! Now you can have a 1 on 1 face off using any of the Princesses, old or new! Designed to play on its own and balance with the core game, you can play this expansion by itself or bring these new Princesses and their tricks to the original Queen by Midnight.
Once again, the Rule of Midnight calls for you. Choose your Princess and take on this battle royale to win the Midnight Crown in this epic 2–4 person deck-building board game! This expansion builds on the core rules, with each Princess still offering a different set of strengths and cunning for you to use. However, these four got to watch the first round and have adjusted their starting strategies. New tactics, new events, new clock tracker, but the same goal—to be the last standing when the clock strikes Midnight.
This expansion is also designed to be more travel friendly, making it easier than ever to take and challenge your friends for the throne wherever you go. Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past comes with a beautiful flat clock tracker, 2 six sided dice, 4 foldable player boards, new bazaar cards, rules for 2 players, and much more!
It is our honor to thank both returning and new members of the wildly talented creative team of Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past!
