News:: Reigns: Her Majesty expands on its Tinder-for-royalty adventure

"What kind of game is it?" a friends asked after my appointment to see Reigns: Her Majesty. I had to stop and think for a few seconds to come up with an answer to that.

It's not that it's difficult to grasp; the basic idea is simple and the controls will feel familiar to any single ladies (or fellas) out there. Portraits show up with questions or suggestions. Swipe right for yes, swipe left for no.

I finally came to the decision that it's most like a text adventure, one of gaming's oldest genres. It's not obvious because it has been distilled down to simple binary decisions, executed with a quick flick to one side. But despite that every decision is a simple yes/no, careful consideration must be paid to keep a reign going.
