“ROYALS” is a fast-paced 1v1 card game where players fight it out with the worst legendary puns. From the fearsome undead bartender “Count Drankula” to the greatest witch in the sea “Mer-lin”. Players can enjoy colorful characters while easy-to-watch game mechanics slowly ruin their friendships.
The game is designed from the ground up to be simple enough that you can learn to play just by watching. No Health or Mana amounts to keep track of, no chain reactions of cards setting off other cards, nothing complex at all. As a simple game of numbers, spectators can easily follow along without ever having played.
Players take turns drawing cards, playing “Royal” characters, and then arming them up with numbers from the same flag as them. Then remove their to remove the other player’s numbers or Royals. And when your “Friend” is out of Royals to defend themselves with, take out their Shields one by one until you win! They’ll still be your “Friend” afterwords, they just won’t like you as much.
Because the real secret to “ROYALS” is that, despite how simple it is, every simple move is also a choice between two simple options…And that’s not the one you should have picked.
Everything is ready to launch, all we need now are people who want to play it.
