Just played Regicide for the first time. Damn. That game is vicious!

A great cooperative game played using a standard deck of cards. My wife and I were able to win, but only by cheating like mad: Played with hands face up, and mostly ignoring hand size limit. I realize that's cheating, but we're learning it.

Very fun, but hard. Kind of like Arkham Horror done with a standard deck.

What strategies do you use when playing?

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of it. Since it can be played with a regular deck of cards I'll give it a spin!

The player to have most recently committed regicide goes first.

Very hard game!

There’s a companion app that you can use to track health and whatnot for free. If you pay $3 you can unlock a digital version of the game in the app.

I’m on iOS so only have a link to it on the Apple App Store. There might be an Android version as well.

Beware, that App just turned my phone into a handwarmer :p Don't know why but it seems to do a lot of work in the back.

Oh boy. Hopefully you're playing somewhere cold and can utilize it 🥲

Makes a great solo too. Getting a Gold Victory (meaning no Jesters used) is so satisfying!

Yes cool game! So much depth in just a standard card deck game. I don't know any strategies, I was only ever trying to not run out of diamonds.
