About this board game

By Order of the Queen is a cooperative fantasy role-playing game for 2–4 players, designed to deliver a complete campaign experience in approximately 90–120 minutes.

Players take on the roles of the Guilds of Tessandor and must work together to protect the kingdom from falling apart. Rather than playing through a long role-playing campaign, the game focuses on the highlights of a fantasy adventure within one self-contained session.

Throughout the game, players send Heroes to important quests, confront monsters, and take responsibility for completing the Queen’s Orders themselves. Cooperation is essential as the guilds coordinate their efforts and respond to the challenges threatening the kingdom.

  • Cooperative play for 2–4 players
  • A fantasy role-playing game theme
  • Hero dispatching and important quests
  • Monster combat
  • Three Queen’s Orders required for victory

The central objective is clear but demanding: complete three Queen’s Orders while keeping the kingdom from collapsing. Every player contributes as part of the united guilds, making shared planning and teamwork the heart of the experience.

Released in 2017, By Order of the Queen offers the feel of a broader fantasy role-playing adventure in a compact board game format. It is suited to players who want a cooperative campaign-inspired game that presents the key moments of a quest without requiring a lengthy series of sessions.
