Board Game Geek Rating: 5.83. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 6.86. Suitable for 2 to 4 players and published in 2015. This is the Kickstarter Edition of the Monarch Board Game. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. In Monarch, you step into the shoes of a throne heir. Your mother, the Queen, is passing on the crown, and it's time for you and your siblings to show off your leadership skills like intelligence, compassion, bravery, and strength. Outperform your siblings, choose prosperity - bringing strategies, and defend the realm from threats and famine. Only the one with the most majestic court will be named heir. Monarch is a 45 - minute light strategy game for 2 - 4 players. The main mechanic is set collection. Each sister aims to assemble a court of Court Cards, including wise advisors, exotic animals, and symbolic regalia. The sister with the most crowns at the end becomes the Queen. There are card - combination tricks. Some cards don't work well together, like the Astronomer in a court with the Fireworks. Others, like the Beastkeeper, gain more crowns when paired with animals. We're excited to support campaigns to bring you games like Monarch. A large part of your spending on Monarch will go towards backing new Kickstarter games.
