Majesty - your crown, your kingdom (English title: Majesty: For the Realm ) is a card game by the game designer Marc André , which was published in 2017 by Hans im Glück Verlag . It is a game in which the other players take cards from a display and thus build up the population of their kingdom for which they receive money.

Style of play

In Majesty - your crown, your kingdom it is thematically to the competition of several kingdoms that are built using a card display. The players try to get as much money as possible through the selection of available characters, which at the end of the game decides on the victory.

In addition to the instructions, the Majesty game components consist of:

  • 32 building cards printed on both sides, eight different for each player,
  • a display for placing five pieces each,
  • 30 playing figures (" Meeple "),
  • 50 person cards, 33 of them with a green and 27 with a red back, and
  • 70 coin chips (10 × 1, 25 × 2, 25 × 10, 6 × 50 and 4 × 100 with showpiece).

Game preparation

To prepare for the game, each player receives eight different landscape cards that are combined to form a continuous landscape. These are a mill, a brewery, a witch's house, a watchtower, a barracks, a tavern, a castle and a hospital. Depending on the preliminary decision, the players can play the A-sides or B-sides of the cards or shuffle them, but they must all have the same side of a building in front of them. In addition, each player receives a display and five pawns, which he places on the display.

The person cards are sorted according to the back and then shuffled individually. The cards with the red back (designation 2) are placed face down in the middle, of the cards with the green back (designation 1), six cards are placed face up next to each other next to the pile of cards, the remaining cards are placed face down on the red pile. In a game with four players, the top seven cards of the pile are taken out of the game without looking, in a game with three players the top 19 cards and in a game with two players all green cards with the exception of the six cards in the display. The coin chips are also placed in the middle of the table.

Phase per game round
  • Select card
  • Create card
  • Execute effect
  • Refill the display

Beginning with a starting player who has the display with the red color, the other players play in clockwise order. In each round the active player takes a card from the display and places it on the corresponding building in his kingdom. He may take the one on the extreme left of the six cards on display without paying. If he wants to take another card, he must put a token from his storage place on each card lying to the left of this card. If a player takes a card with tokens, he may take it and use it to fill his shelf or, if it is full, take one coin per pawn from the money supply.
