Read the full game description
Queen Alice is a mid-heavy Eurogame inspired by Through the Looking-Glass. Players move chess pieces along a shared track to activate columns of actions, then use multi-purpose cards to strengthen their engines and shape a royal banquet. Four interlocking competitions reward different specialties, so every turn asks whether to pursue immediate tempo, improve future actions, or deny an opponent a crucial space. End-game bonuses and layered card effects turn the whimsical setting into a demanding strategic puzzle for solo play or up to four rivals.
