Reigns Rule by swipe, die by swipe

A monk wants something. A general wants something else. A dog looks up at you expectantly. Each request arrives as a card, and each card gives you exactly two options: swipe left or swipe right. That is the whole interface, and it is harder than it sounds, because you rarely get enough information to predict what a decision will do. Feed the peasants and the treasury suffers. Back the army and the church takes offense. The writing keeps every choice to a few sharp sentences, so a full reign plays out in minutes and one more card always feels like one too few.

Losing your grip on any of the four powers ends your reign, usually in a way that is violent, embarrassing or both. Death is not the end here: your heir takes the throne, the story keeps going, and the ways you have died become part of your collection. Reigns stretch across centuries, from burning witches to scientific enlightenment, with wicked politics and, possibly, the Devil himself woven through it. Royal challenges give each reign goals that unlock new cards and content, and there are multiple endings to work toward. The best one takes some figuring out.
