THE LAST HAND
REGICIDE
Kill the king or lose everything
Forget solitaire and briscola, because that deck of cards you think you know hides a brutal war. Here, the Jacks, Queens, and Kings are not static figures, but corrupt monsters ready to decimate your adventuring party.
It's a cooperative board game that transforms a French deck of cards into an epic fantasy battle. It's not enough to play the highest card: you must combine suits to heal wounds, parry deadly blows, and recruit allies before darkness takes over.
The real magic lies in the silence at the table. You can't tell your teammates what you're holding; you have to guess their intentions and hope your move isn't the one that will doom everyone else.
It's the game for those who love solving puzzles under pressure, perfect for couples or close-knit groups looking for a ruthless tactical challenge in a box that fits in their pocket.
Why REGICIDE sticks in your head
It's not just about attacking. Playing Spades at the right time creates vital shields that absorb enemy damage.
The discard pile is your graveyard, the deck is your life. Hearts shuffle the discard pile back into your deck, keeping you alive.
Hand management is everything. Diamonds allow you and your teammates to draw fresh resources.
When brute force is needed, Flowers deal double damage. Essential for taking down the toughest Kings.
After your turn, the enemy strikes hard. If you don't discard enough cards to parry, the game ends instantly.
When all seems lost, the Jester nullifies the enemy's attack. Use him wisely; he won't come back.
🎯 COME SI GIOCA
📦 CONTENUTO DELLA SCATOLA
🧤 BUSTINE
THE RECONCILIATION
THE SILENCE OF HEROES
No words are needed, just intuition.
In Regicide, your deck of cards is your most precious resource: it represents your party's health and attack power. Each card played is a blow, but also a defense that will no longer be available when the King returns fire.
Tensions rise when you're forced to discard your best cards just to survive a devastating attack. Do you panic and play everything at once, or risk taking damage, hoping your teammate has the ace up his sleeve to heal you next turn?
There's no room for lone heroes. If one player falls, everyone loses. You must learn to read the table, recognize when your allies are in trouble, and intervene before it's too late.
Where it rewards you
Calculating the exact damage to kill an enemy without wasting resources will make you feel like a tactical genius.
That moment when your partner plays exactly the card you were hoping for, without you having said a word.
The dark, angular illustrations transform familiar cards into weary and dangerous warriors.
Using Aces as animal companions to power up number cards creates explosive combinations.
Defeating a King doesn't just eliminate him: it adds him to your deck, turning your enemy into a powerful ally.
A big, deep, and complex gaming experience that you can literally carry in your jeans pocket.
Where it tests you
Regicide establishes itself as an essential board game for those seeking depth in a pocket-sized format. Its cooperative card game nature requires rigorous hand management, where each suit activates abilities vital to the group's survival. It's not just a pastime, but a challenge of logic and intuition that punishes distraction and rewards quiet synergy between players, making each game a tale of resistance against overwhelming odds.
