Reigns: Three Kingdoms
Imagine if your Tinder app was turned into a time-traveling, medieval China dynasty simulator. Instead of swiping left or right on potential hookups, you’re swiping left or right whether to bet on the farmer or merchant winning in a fight or whether to marry a political match. There’s a bit of deckbuilding involved as well, but it’s all relatively light considering the main swipe left or right mechanic. This version of Reigns is also based on the classic Chinese epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms, set during the end of the Han dynasty. There’s also a combat system and a few other minigames involved, but the main swiping mechanic is surprisingly engrossing, especially if you haven’t played any of the Reigns titles before.
