Description
The land you live in has been at war for as long as any of you have been alive.
The Queen has decided to undertake a long and perilous journey to broker an alliance with a distant power.
The Queen has chosen you, and only you, to be her retinue, and accompany her on this journey.
She chose you because she knows that you love her.
For the Queen is a card-based story-building game that you and up to five other players can begin playing in minutes. Choose your queen from among fourteen gorgeously varied illustrations—or start from scratch—and use the prompt cards to collaboratively tell a story of love, betrayal, doubt, and devotion.

- It's a very kind of passive interaction that has become part of the way that we regularly interact with each other
- The queen trusts you but no one else in the Royal Court does
- I feel like I'm in charge well the answer would be twofold
- The queen has some dietary restrictions that again you know we don't let out into the into the world but if that had been overlooked if if the food that had been prepared had been served it could have been a very bad time for the kingdom
