Christina Regina: The Card Game

Christina Regina is a card game version of Christina Regina - the Board Game. It is a game about politics and intrigues in 17th century Sweden where each player represents a faction with a hidden agenda. The end of their intrigues is the newly appointed queen Christina of Sweden and their means include persuasion, agitation, manipulation and even assassination. They achieve this by carefully steering the queen towards influence of their own faction and away from influence of other factions. At the same time, they must closely monitor the other players' actions to guess their agendas. But beware, if your own agenda is too obvious, you may yourself become the victim of your opponents' intrigues! Game mechanisms include: 1. Card drawing: Cards are drawn or discarded so that each new player in turn is faced with new options. 2. Asymmetric scoring: There are no "good" or "bad" cards but they all score differently for different players. 3. Hidden agendas: The players do not know how much the other players score until the very end. 4. Guessing game: Based on how players play, the other players may gain points by guessing their agendas (or lose points by guessing wrong). Christina Regina is the third game in the Nova Suecia series.
