Darrington Press to Release New Edition of For the Queen in May

Mar 15, 2024

This May will see the release of a new edition of the storytelling game For the Queen from Darrington Press. Designed by Alex Roberts, the game places players in the roles of her royal highness and retinue as their travels to a foreign land to negotiate an alliance are retold by card driven prompts. For the Queen 2E is for one to six players, ages 13+, plays in around 30 to 120 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $24.99 when it arrives May 14th.

From Darrington Press:

Darrington Press has entered its queen era—on the heels of Queen by Midnight, we are thrilled to declare that our next game is a new edition of the beloved storytelling game For the Queen by Diana Jones Award-winning Alex Roberts, coming to tables on May 14, 2024!

For the Queen is a card-driven collaborative storytelling game that invites you to tell a dramatic narrative about a Queen’s journey with you, her companions! What will you learn about her (and yourself) along the way? In the end, will you stand for or against her?

Many of us at Darrington Press have enjoyed the first edition of For the Queen—it’s perfect for playing at conventions and for quick drop-in games, as it’s no-prep and teaches the game as you play! We had the chance to work with Alex Roberts on Till the Last Gasp and are deeply honored to work with her again and give For the Queen a complete visual redesign, all-new art from talented artists, an easy-to-use new box, and refined card prompts!
