The magical contest is about to begin! Once a year the Winter Queen enchants the snow in her Queendom, turning it into shining crystals ablaze with the colors of the northern lights. Wizards use the enchanted crystals to weave magical spells that will protect the Queendom from woe and misfortune and earn the recognition of its citizens.

The Winter Queen awards the wizards with golden coins for each cast spell. In truth, the gold itself is of little importance to wizards. What is truly important is that the best wizard will be proclaimed the new Queen’s Key Advisor for the next year.

You are one of the wizards participating in the magical contest. Grab your magic book, study up, and get ready to impress the Winter Queen with your greatest spells!

Winter Queen is an abstract strategy family game from Yuri Zhuravlev (Space Explorers, Viceroy). As a wizard in the Winter Queen’s annual competition, you cast spells and vie to claim the title of the Queen’s Key Advisor.

• During your turn, you draft crystals and place them on the game map board known as the Queendom, thereby creating beautiful colorful patterns and gathering Spell Books. Alternatively, you may place crystals on your Spell Books to ignite their magical powers.
• When you are ready, you may activate your Spell Books to produce spells and gather victory points in the form of golden coins. The wizard who has the most gold by the end of the game wins the contest and becomes the Queen’s new Key Advisor.

Winter Queen is fast to play. Its rules can be explained in 5 minutes. It shines as a family game because it is easily accessible for all players and has stunning components.

At the same time, Winter Queen provides enough depth to create an ultimate challenge for experienced players. The game has a high degree of player interaction and allows for a lot of strategical decision.

Features:

• EASY TO LEARN: simple and straightforward rules make Winter Queen a perfect gateway or family game
• HARD TO MASTER: various winning strategies and tactical decisions ensure the game plays great as a geek-filler
• FAST TO PLAY: with a play time of 20-30 min, you can easily play the game several times during one game night
• INTENSE COMPETITION: players have many ways to affect other players and snatch victory
• BEAUTIFUL COMPONENTS: players can’t take their eyes off unique crystals and stunning art

Mini Expansions Set

Mini-expansions set expand your experience of Winter Queen and consists of 3 fully compatible mini-expansions that you may use with the game. This set includes:

• Gratitude’s mini-expansion:
  • This mini-expansion increases player interaction and competitiveness of Winter Queen. We recommend playing your first games without it, though. Gratitudes, when you’re ready to use them, will let you experience a new layer of strategy.
  • At the beginning of the game, you receive 5 Gratitude tokens. Each of them corresponds to one of the crystal colors. When you place a crystal on a Queendom Map board, you flip the Gratitude token of the corresponding color face up, thus activating it. From now on, you may use it. Each token grants you a special one-time ability. When the token is used, it flips face down… until you retrieve it again by placing the crystal of its color on the Map board. Each Gratitude token is a very powerful tool if used wisely. For example, green token allows you to swap any 2 Queen’s Domain tiles on the Map board, and red one can replace up to 3 crystals on the Crystal Holder tiles.

• • Royal Jewelry mini-expansion:
    • This expansion adds a whole new level of strategy. In the base game, crystals from the Spell Books you activate are discarded. Royal Jewelry gives these crystals a second life. After you activate a Spell Book, instead of discarding crystal(s), you move them to your Royal Jewelry card. You may choose to put crystal(s) in the Treasury or add it to your Tiara. At the end of the game the Treasury generates 1 VP for every 2 crystals in it, and The Tiara can generate up to insane 10 VPs!

• • Great Wizard solo mini-expansion:
    • What do wizards do when there are no other wizards to compete with? Well, they perform special quests for their Queen! This solo mini-expansion is fully compatible with other mini-expansions and allows you to experience almost the same gameplay even when there are no other wizards around.
    • When you play solo, replace common Spell Books with 8 special ones and remove all but 20 crystals from the game. Create patterns out of enchanted crystals as usual and do your best to score as many VPs as possible. Compare your result with the chart and measure your success on a scale from a mere Charlatan to a truly Great Wizard!
