Reigns is a 2016 strategy game developed by Nerial and published by Devolver Digital. Set in a fictional medieval world, players control a monarch who the player must help rule for as long as possible. The monarch receives petitions and questions from advisers, which are represented by cards. The player can choose between two responses to the adviser, which has an effect on one of the kingdom's four aspects. If one of the aspects becomes too unbalanced, the game ends and the player starts another reign with a new monarch. To win the game, the player must break a curse created by the Devil, who visits the player across several reigns.

Nerial was inspired by the dating app Tinder while creating Reigns. Developer François Alliot managed the writing, which was influenced by the Oulipo French literary movement. Disasterpeace composed the soundtrack. The game was first released on 11 August 2018. It received positive reviews from critics for its gameplay and presentation, though some said that it became repetitive over time. Reigns inspired a video game franchise, beginning with a standalone sequel titled Reigns: Her Majesty, which was released in 2017. By August 2019, the game had sold 2 million copies.
