Reigns in IOS

Swipe and be the King

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

91/100

Reigns is one of the most clever games I’ve played in years. It takes the familiar 'Tinder swipe' mechanic and applies it to medieval kingship, which sounds absurd but works brilliantly. Every card presents a choice—swipe left to say no, right to say yes. Each decision impacts four pillars of your kingdom: the Church, the People, the Army, and the Treasury. The goal is to keep these in balance; if any meter gets too high or too low, your reign ends in a creative (and usually grisly) death.

The writing is sharp, witty, and often surprising. What starts as a simple balancing act quickly reveals a deeper, multi-generational narrative involving witches, the devil, and scientific enlightenment. There’s a wonderful sense of discovery as you encounter rare cards and try to survive longer than your predecessors. It’s an addictive 'just one more reign' loop that perfectly suits mobile play. Reigns is a masterclass in minimalist storytelling and strategic decision-making.

The Game

Version 1.14Wed Aug 28 2019

Corrects a bug with the homunculus


Sit on the throne as a benevolent (or malevolent) medieval monarch of the modern age and swipe your royal fingers either left or right to impose your will upon the kingdom. Survive the seemingly never-ending gauntlet of requests from your advisors, peasants, allies, and enemies while maintaining balance between the influential factions of your kingdom. But beware; each decision you make might have implications and unfortunate consequences down the road that could put your reign and family’s dynasty at risk!

Each year of your reign brings another important – seemingly random – request from your unpredictable kingdom as you strive for balance between the church, the people, the army, and the treasury. Prudent decisions and careful planning make for a long reign but unforeseen motivations, surprise events, and poor luck can take down even the most entrenched monarch. Extend your reign as long as possible, forge alliances, make enemies, and find new ways to die as your dynasty marches along through the ages. Some events will span on centuries, with an intrigue involving burning witches, scientific enlightenment, wicked politics and, maybe, the Devil himself.

*iPhone 5 / iPod Touch 6 / iPad Mini / iPad Air or later recommended.


Requires iOS 9.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
