Title: Reigns (Warning - Spoilers Ahoy)
Post by: tgb on August 12, 2016, 09:18:15 AM
Flip cards and make decisions to keep the church, military, and populace happy without going broke.  It's been described as "Crusader Kings II without having to wait for stuff to happen". It's a surprisingly engaging little time-waster and it's only $3 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/474750/)

The longest I've lasted so far is 20 years (William the Older).  I have a tough time keeping myself from going broke.  I have the same problem in the game.

I saw it for android too. I might grab that, sounds like a fun CK-lite game.

I saw it on Steam, thought the graphics looked tacky and wrote it off as a cheap and natty offering. Looks like I have been wrong by judging the book by its cover. :-[ I liked Ortis Regni, so perhaps I should take a less jaundiced look?

Wow, Google Play shows it with 1100+ giving it a 4 or 5 and only 6 people give it a 1 or 2.  Don't think I've ever seen a more positive slant on a game!

It's a good game and definitely worth $3, but nothing like Ortis Regni, other than they both use cards.

Simple fun little game, thanks for bringing it up.

Got 84 years as Robert the Senile.  The effects of old age are funny.

84??? For real? I was just coming here to boast of my new record of 34!

I made it to 41  thanks to an event that let me see the effect of my decisions on all the factions.

Also, there's an achievement called "govern like a winner".  Avoid it unless you don't mind being referred to as a Trump.

Yeah, random good luck, my next highest score is 18.

They have an overall high score list and some people got in the 130's.

Thanks Tgb. I'll probably get it.
