Long live the Queen
Dieselpunk Edition
Axia, the Queen of the Underworld, is dead - two syndicates, The White Rose and The Black Rose, fight for the princess of their syndicate to succeed Axia. To win this battle for succession, you must either collect three prestige markers of each type - for wealth, wisdom and dangerousness of the princess - or cause turning over of the opposing princess.
Both opponents have the twelve tiles of their color and place their princess at position 7 of the number track, which is marked for positions 2 to 12. Then each player secretly selects one character as the Master - you must select a character carrying an icon - and places the tile face-down next to the number track. The Master determines the abilities and initiative of two recruits. The remaining tiles are placed at your discretion to the left and right of the princess.
The active player rolls two dice, their total determines the position of the active tiles. Face-down tiles at this position are turned up; when both are already face-up, their abilities are activated and resolved in order of ascending initiative values. For a recruit, you turn up the master tile and the recruits act with his abilities and initiative. Tile activation can give you prestige markers. If, however, you hold all six markers of a color, you must give back all of them! At the end of your turn, you can swap two tiles in adjacent positions or select a new master.
Lots of tactic, lots of risk, incomplete information, lots of options and all abilities and characters fit together well and suit the topic well, too - what more can you want from a game of only 24 cards?
