The Queen: Advice to the Adjudicator

The Queen, even more so that the King, is the most powerful and complex piece in the game. The Game of Succession may be won or lost with the King's capture, but it is generally how the Queen is used that will determine victory.

With the Queen, it is likely the Adjudicator will have a lot more information to work with than with most pieces. Reflect this by making her more complex rules-wise! It is perfectly reasonable for a Queen to have 4 or more descriptors at the start of the game. Don't go overboard though, or it will likely overwhelm the player with options. At the very least, all Queens should have a Sorcery Style trait, plus at least two other descriptors.

As always, bear in mind that this list is not and never be exhaustive! If you need a new descriptor, then just add it on! Bear in mind that descriptors with drastic effects should normally be placed in Traits rather than Boons, as Boons are very easy to come by in-game.

When applying descriptors to the Queen, bear in mind that the descriptors can also be used to reflect her relationship to the King as well as her personal traits. For example, if the King is besotted with the Queen, then it is the Queen who takes the Devoted Couple boon.
