The Queen's Dilemma (English)

The Queen’s Dilemma is a sequel to The King’s Dilemma, the award-winning (and Kennerspiel nominated Goat) interactive narrative game and uses an improved card system to give players an even more immersive experience.

One hundred years after the dramatic events of the first game and building on the revolutionary Dilemma card system, The Queen's Dilemma introduces an entirely new story, improves existing mechanics and adds many new exclusive features.

Take a seat at the Queen's Council and choose your own character from 6 unique characters. You'll experience the story from their perspective, whether as a cunning master of subterfuge, a fierce military leader, a greedy merchant, a philosopher advocating progress, an aristocrat with a penchant for the occult, or a vicious lord linked to criminal activities.

Develop your character with exclusive personal abilities. Each character comes with Duchies or Marks under their direct control, and a card deck of secret personal goals and branching narrative paths that will define your history and future goals—which may intertwine with the destiny of the entire kingdom.

Shaping the political identity of the Kingdom through the new ideological system. The policies you implement will shift the balance between six opposing political ideologies: tradition versus progress, force versus diplomacy, and order versus freedom. These also represent your character's moral values ​​and agenda: everyone has a founding ideology that they have always supported, and other secondary interests that vary in importance from game to game, changing alliances at the table.

But that's not all. The new keyword system allows the game to follow your personal choices: an unexpected act of forgiveness could guarantee you the eternal gratitude of the people, but a drastic resolution could tarnish your reputation forever. Make your decisions wisely: the consequences of your choices will come back to reward or haunt your character later in the campaign.

Watch the kingdom map evolve as a result of your decisions! The events that unfold will change the world forever and unlock new game rules altering the flow of the campaign. Defend your interests when a Dilemma card directly involves the territories under your control, and construct buildings to gain new abilities and sources of income.

Manage the resources of your lands and trade with other players to achieve your goals: increase your political power, collect materials to improve your buildings, support the Queen's army in the Southern War and provide for the needs of your people to avoid discontent, unrest and revolts.
