Christina Regina - the Queen's Path© is the third game in the Nova Suecia series. It is a game about politics and intrigues in 17th century Sweden. Each player represents a faction with a hidden agenda. The end of their intrigues is the newly appointed Queen Christina of Sweden and their means include agitation, manipulation, persuasion and even assassination. They achieve this by steering the queen towards influence of their own faction and away from influence of other factions. At the same time, they must monitor the other players' actions to guess their agendas. But beware, if your own agenda is too obvious, you may yourself become the victim of your opponents' intrigues!
Christina Regina is also available as a card game. The game is basically the same with the game board being replaced by three piles of cards. However, the essence of the game - the intrigues and the careful maneuvering between the colors - remain the same.
"The essence of the game is found when we unveil Christina Regina. Under the theme, the mechanisms remind of various games like chess (moving a piece and create forced moves), poker (bluffing), Master Mind (color guessing), the old Nokia game "Snake" (blocking paths) and Cluedo (murders with unknown villains and motives). A player may go for his or her own color, hoping that the others think it's a bluff, or go for other colors, provoking the others to attempt assassinations and fail. The winner is the player who best reads the others' minds." (Boardgamegeek)
