Queen By Midnight to Arrive in August from Darrington Press

Apr 26, 2023

Darrington Press is preparing to release their first board game and it’s a deck-builder titled Queen By Midnight. In the game, players will lead their individual princesses as they use brains and brawn to gain the crown. Queen by Midnight is for three to six players, ages 12+, plays in 60 to 90 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $69.99 when it arrives in August.

About the game:

The Midnight Queen is dead… As her kingdom weeps, the Queen’s dying command was to invoke the Rule By Midnight: a trial of combat and guile, where the Princesses of the Twelve Lands meet in secret to battle and scheme against one another. At the stroke of midnight, the most powerful Princess left standing will be crowned the new Midnight Queen!

Queen By Midnight is a battle-royale deck-building card game of guile, deception, and brawn! Six Princesses each feature unique tactics to battle for the right of the Midnight Court, but only one (and maybe their inner circle) will be the winner.

This game features a table presence you won’t see anywhere else, with its intricate Dice Clock Tower that spins to face each player on their turn, keeps track of the round, presents new cards to buy, and even acts as a dice roller!

The centerpiece of this game is a stunning Clock Dice Tower that tracks turns, offers cards to buy, and rolls your dice! It spins to face each player on their turn. Nearly 200 cards are themed to your specific Princess, with an additional 75 Bazaar cards available to customize your deck. Tokens, trackers, boards, and other cards make gameplay easy to track even when things are getting heated.
