A Royal Will (2021)

About this game

Death, woe, tragedy... and Opportunity? "Euphoria, once the peaceful center of the Andromeda galaxy, a crossroad for kingdoms and solardoms, has plummeted into treachery and chaos. With the unexplained deaths of its royal family, assets that can buy nebulas are up for grabs, and everyone has a tactic to try to alter the wills in their favor…” A royal game of galactic greed. Form strategic character pairings using just 2 cards to win The Wills. One character acts to disrupt the Inheritance, the other steals the wealth. There’s a craft to high-stakes thievery: greed will leave your pockets empty, but caution will profit your enemies. Play your cards right, and the wealth of Euphoria shall be yours! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
