Regicide is a cooperative fantasy card game where players work together to defeat a series of powerful enemy Kings, Queens, and Jacks. Designed by Badgers from Mars, the game is played using a standard 52-card deck, making it highly accessible while still offering deep strategic gameplay.
How to Play
Players take turns playing cards from their hands to attack the enemies, represented by face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings). Each card’s value determines the strength of the attack, and its suit provides special abilities:
- Hearts heal the team’s shared draw deck.
- Diamonds allow players to draw more cards.
- Clubs deal double damage.
- Spades reduce the enemy’s attack strength.
At the start of the game, players face a series of Jacks, followed by Queens, and finally Kings—the most challenging foes. If the deck runs out or all players are unable to make a legal move, the game is lost.
Strategy and Cooperation
Regicide is all about teamwork. Players must carefully plan their moves, ensuring that powerful cards are used efficiently and the team’s resources are balanced. Communication is key, as some players may need to hold onto specific cards for later battles while others use their abilities at the right time.
The game also features a challenging solo mode and can be played with different levels of difficulty by modifying the deck. Despite its simple premise, Regicide requires careful planning, making it a favorite among fans of cooperative and strategy games.
