Royal Visit (2006)

About this game

In Royal Visit, you and your opponent must vie to attract the King to your Chateau. On your turn, play a card from your hand to move characters or use the powers of the Wizard and Jester to influence the position of the King and his Court. You can then move the Crown between the two Duchies, according to the position of each character. The first player to welcome the King or the Crown into their Chateau immediately wins the game! If the King can’t decide, make sure he ends up in your Duchy at the end of the game to get his final approval!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
