Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal controller either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom.

Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom.

But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!

It’s the year 2016 and all across the globe people are staring at their phones swiping left and right. But they aren’t all arranging disappointing romantic encounters – a lot of them are ruling a kingdom in Reigns, a death-filled, card-swiping monarch simulator, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month.

More than 4 million players have experienced the Reigns series since it launched back in 2016, including sequels like Reigns: Three Kingdoms and Reigns: Beyond – not to mention official spin-offs set in the Game of Thrones and The Witcher universes.

To mark this anniversary and celebrate 10 years of macabre narrative swiping, the developers at Nerial have returned to their breakout hit and created a free update that adds a massive amount of new stuff to the original game you know and love. You might have already played Reigns to death, quite literally, many times over, but it’s time for a reunion.

With 190 new cards, new objectives, new deaths, new characters and a whole lot more – including a new secret ending – there’s never been a better time to revisit Reigns. This anniversary update adds a new plot thread involving a local witch whose potent prophecies you can witness come to life if you manage to survive, appropriately, for 10 years.

Key Features:

• An Unpredictable Kingdom: Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch.
• Dynasty Expansion: Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.
• Royal Challenges: Achieve specific goals set before you at the start of your reign to cement your legacy and unlock new cards and content within the kingdom.
• Eclectic Presentation: An inspiring score from Disasterpeace compliment elegant gameplay and a bold art direction for a sublime experience as you rule over your people.

Reigns is available for Android, iOS, and PC (Steam).
