Reigns on a premium indie throne
Reigns puts you on a medieval throne and asks for a swipe — left or right — on every request. Church, people, army, and treasury meters drift with each answer. The wellhead keeps it at rank one because the card still shows a 4.8 average from 7.6K ratings, a paid $2.99 price, and a recent 1.15 update dated 10 Aug 2026.
How the loop plays
One card, two directions, four meters. Survive the year, inherit the next monarch, chase deaths and side plots that span centuries. Controllers are supported; Game Center is listed. Size on the card: 130 MB, iOS 13.0+.
Who it suits
Players who want a premium indie session measured in minutes, not hours, and who accept that a bad swipe can end a dynasty in seconds.
What it is not
It is not a free-to-play kingdom builder, not a multiplayer court, and not a downloadable binary hosted here. We do not claim install totals the App Store never prints.
