Christina Regina: The Queen's Path (2014)

Christina Regina - the Board Game 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. This is achieved by carefully steering the queen towards influence tiles bearing their faction colors and away from other influence tiles. 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. Tile laying: Tiles are laid at the start of the game and make every session unique. 2. Asymmetric scoring: There are no "good" or "bad" tiles 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.
