Darrington Press has announced Queen by Midnight, a new deck-building game, and a pair of new role-playing games, Illuminated Worlds and Daggerheart. All three games will be previewed at Gen Con followed by general release.
In Queen by Midnight, players become princesses competing to become queen of the Midnight Court in a massive battle-royale. Each princess has their own unique deck, which players modify during the game to advance their strategies until the stroke of midnight when only one can be chosen as the new Midnight Queen.
The game features a rotating clock tower centerpiece that records game rounds and manages the cards used in play. It includes 275 cards plus tokens, trackers, and player boards. Queen by Midnight was created by Kyle Shire and is intended for 3 to 6 players, ages 12 and up. Games take a little over an hour to play. MSRP is $69.99.
Illuminated Worlds will be a d6 dice-pool-based tabletop role playing game, designed by Stras Ascimovic and Layla Alderman. It is intended for shorter campaigns driven by flexible story arcs and is setting-agnostic. Daggerheart on the other hand is built for longer fantasy-themed campaigns. Details on both titles will be released closer to launch.
Darrington Press recently launched its storytelling dueling game Till The Last Gasp (see “Darrington Press Announces ‘Till the Last Gasp’”).
