Queen Rules – Board Game Review
Queen Rules is a Board/Puzzle game from Juan Gabriel Palomino Garcia, first launched in 3rd November 2020.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 134+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Queen Rules Stand Out
Explore this hypnotic world built of handmade modelling FIMO clay characters. What’s your vehicle? Logic and planning. It’s a puzzle experience that’s challenging but fun.
Led by a benevolent King and Queen, you’ll visit enchanted lands and enjoy an atmosphere like no where else you know. Your job while here—defeat a dark curse set in play by an evil witch. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! The puzzles begin simply and slowly advance in challenge, level by level, kingdom by kingdom.
We’re proud to say that this game is an entirely new and unique experience. After months addicted to it ourselves, we’re sharing it with you to let more people into this captivating world. If you like puzzle games this is a goldmine.
So, how do you play? Use your finger to swipe soldiers across rows and up columns. When you get them all down to ones, you’re allowed to move on. It’s an effortless, magical feeling being inside this world—easy and satisfying to learn, but challenging to complete and win. As the game evolves, new game mechanics appear. Soldiers become more powerful and playful, and the game becomes pure strategy. Yes, things may get tricky.
If you need input, go ask a friend to sit by your side, or even bring your kid over. This game is family friendly and fun to play in pairs. Incredible art sets it apart and makes it captivating for all ages. The game travels along at a pace that’s not rushed or timed, and it allows you to retry within levels as much as you want. This leads to more fun and less stress—what we always wanted in a game. You can think through your advances at a pace that everyone can enjoy.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is repetitive in the best way! We love that there are no ads, great music and sound (except for the queens voice tho ugh!), and its free to play! Some of the levels are quite challenging, which brings us to level 40. Maybe its just us, but we CANNOT figure out how to pass this level! We feel like Ive tried every possible move, but Im still stuck! We want to continue playing this incredible game, but please give us a hint or trick on how to pass Level 40!!! But the game itself is nearly perfect! UPDATE: Thank you Devs for your help and fast response! Ive since moved on from level 40, and this game just gets better, more challenging, and it makes us feel smart lol! We brought the rating from 3 stars to the 5 stars this game deserves.
We havent played a game on iOS in a long time that delighted us so much. This game is fun and simply beautiful. Hats off the amazing people that made this beautiful masterpiece.
Relaxing and interesting brain game with awesome visuals and its really cool that you said he, she or they thanks for doing that.
Great soundtrack and a charming visual design! The puzzles are well thought out and are satisfying to solve, but it would be nice to have the option to disable the Tournament levels or only have them appear after you beat the game once.
Love this game but youre not getting any help! Ive been stuck on level 79 for 2 days and would sell our boyfriend for a hint at this point, LOL.
The art is so beautiful and the puzzles are interesting and fun to figure out! We absolutely love this game :). Calming music and subtle sound and animation effects make it very relaxing to play.
Well done! Great presentation and gameplay. Highly recommended.
The game is beautiful and has great aesthetics, but the puzzles are so repetitive and become boring. It takes too long for interesting puzzles to be introduced. Even on world 2 the first like 10 levels are as easy as the first few levels of world 1.
This game is addicting. It gets challenging on some levels but mostly it just takes patience and thinking or planning the moves out before hand. We wish there were more levels.
Really nice graphics. But we wish there was a way to separate music from sounds. We would like to turn off the music but retain the sound effects :-/.
We touch the five to the right and instead of it becoming a two it becomes a one and we are stuck. We looked at a YouTube video and the gamers puzzle reacts correctly to the same move we tried to make.
In these difficult times of the pandemic, the game served as a good way to relax . Not too challenging. It was a little repetitive but not so much to make one give up or feel bored. If it were safe to travel it would be a great way to pass the time. Saving it worked wonderfully and the graphics were wonderful.
This is all it is promised to be. Relaxing, clever, and especially soothing for our stressed out time : order out of chaos. And too cute for words. There is a bug, at least on our mini. When you move to another world, the background disappears – totally black. If you go to the menu and come back, all is well.
We feel like there should be more explanation as to what your options are in the game or at least hints. Im at level 23 now and we see no possible solution. Ive tried everything we can think of, there is literally only one direction for the cards to go. Unless of course, we have other options that were not made clear, actions in which we do not know we could do. Im frustrated.
Like others, we took a chance on this wonderful puzzler. So glad we did. This games is good for almost any age — we play alone, or with our seven year old, and enjoy it equally. We hope they make more games like this this. Happy to support them.
Took a chance on this even though no demo was available as it promised unique new gameplay. We were not let down. The clay art is beautiful and the music is whimsical yet calming. Love the sound effects too, very satisfying. We hope they add more levels in the future. The game gets progressively harder and some of the levels definitely stumped us for awhile! A very relaxing game experience.
We bought this after the App Store put it forward in our feed, promising a calm and fun game with no stress, which it absolutely delivered. The music is soothing, the haptic feedback is just right, and the graphics are whimsical and charming. We were pleased to see that many of its makers are women, which we suspect contributes to its overall zen-ness. Our only regret is that it has but 156 levels, which we rolled through in a day. Absolutely worth the cost. We gave it five stars, and we never give anything five stars.
Polished, well done and unique. We hope more levels are released.
Usually we prefer games that have a few free levels to try before purchase. We ended taking a leap since it was featured in the App Store and Im so glad we did. Such a nice, relaxing puzzle game that lets you play at your own pace. The clay art is really fun and unique. This is such a treasure.
