Description
The crown is up for grabs to whoever can build the richest domain and seize it from their rivals. It'll take a whole kingdom's worth of people to accomplish this monumental task. Rally your citizens, grow your power, and reign supreme in Majesty: For the Realm, a game of strategically selecting who you want to work your lands set during the Middle Ages. Each game, you recruit characters to perform jobs that generate gold for your kingdom. Some characters work better with others, opening many paths to victory. Whether you choose to be a silver-tongued monarch who rules with mercy, or an iron-fisted tyrant who crushes their rivals, the fate of the land rests with you.
From the humble Miller to the elegant Noble, all of your loyal subjects will play a decisive role in your new kingdom. Some might grow the food needed to feed your many subjects, while others lead attacks on other kingdoms and weaken your rivals. They all help generate gold in their own way, but your decisions will determine how well they work together. It is up to you to find the combination that helps your kingdom rise while stymying your opponents' efforts. Raise your banners, fill your coffers, and stake your claim for the realm!

Quotes (from this video)
- These crackers spend most of their episodes talking about everything but board games
- The thing that really sold us both on this game it's the resource management
- Oh crap I sat there for an hour getting through the rules
- This is very much a tactical game Tony which I found out and I stick it tactical games it's about positioning your squads and in in good places to defend and in case some enemy moves into a crystal zone then you can move into a crystal zone and actually do battle against each other
- The really neat mechanic that I liked was the three different colors of the workers you had the black the gray and the white and you don't get those gray and white until you go raiding later in the game
- I highly recommend the expansion Hall of Heroes because typically when you draw cards in the base game it's a blind draw you don't know what you're gonna get with the expansion you have three of them out that you can pick from
- The app works well I was surprised how well the app works because there's also a time when you can just do a check you could say hey is this color part of the the pattern and you type in it tells you whether it is or not
- I really enjoyed this Marty I was really surprised at just the fiddle enos of playing with the coins and moving them in and out
- I love it's a it's a tactical board game with cards and minis I get to paint my minis
