HOW TO PLAY

OVERVIEW

The Midnight Queen is dead….Four new challengers enter the fray for the grand contest known as the Rule by Midnight: a 24-hour trial of combat and guile in which the Princesses of Twelvefold are summoned to Court to battle one another. At the stroke of midnight, the most powerful Princess left standing will be crowned the new ruler of Twelvefold.

GAMEPLAY

  • Choose from 4 dynamic Princesses, each with a unique strategy and style.

  • As the game develops, gain access to more powerful cards from the Bazaar deck and your Princess’s War Chest.
  • Hedge your bets by pledging your loyalty to other players for the possibility of a shared victory!
  • Eliminate other Princesses through brute force or by having the most Clout and Health when the clock strikes midnight.
