The Verdict
based on 20 reviews
“Majesty is short game by the designer of Splendor (a reasonably good game that doesn’t make this list), and is a solid game with good components that is great filler in between bigger fare.”
“Majesty: For the Realm is astounding. It’s the best card game I’ve played in awhile, and I look forward to it every time it comes out.”
“Majesty: For the Realm is simple enough to play with my family, but with enough meat to be enjoyed by gamers too.”
“Its mechanics are tight and fun. The set up is minimal and the playtime never makes the game feel like it overstayed its welcome. In fact, a more common feeling was a desire to play again.”
“I love Majesty: For the Realm to bits. While I will certainly still play Century: Spice Road, if given the choice I'd rather play this.”
“Oh I loved it I love this game it's so cool I mean it's pretty the quality of these tokens are just awesome they feel like poker chips I love the cars I love that it has different art the art is really cool”(34:24)
“With two modes of play, fantastic visual appeal and a very high standard of component (including the manual, cards, meeples and chips), Majesty is a very attractive game for three or four players and still a great time sink or warm-up game for two.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Uh, even after one play, I I probably would bet after multiple plays. We'll have to see what happens.”(9:19)
“This one is really for me. This is much better than Splendor. I didn't really enjoy that game that much, I liked it a few times or win it really fast, so this one I like more.”(22:02)
“I think I like it more than Sam. It's a good game. I think you're gonna enjoyed it. I mean, if you're captivated by this at all, if you look at it and you go "hmm," you walked over to it, you're gonna like it.”(16:59)
“I was surprised by this game. The rules are fairly simple, yet they allow for an impressive strategic depth. It's easy enough to play with younger gamers, but deep enough to satisfy players of any age.”
“I think that in Majesty, designer Marc André has created a very good game with plenty to think about (single, multiple and combinations of cards) that plays quickly and leaves players wanting more.”
