SIMPLE RULES. SATISFYING LITTLE DISCOVERIES.
A minute to learn.
A lovely way to think.
Queens is a visual logic puzzle in the Star Battle family. Use the colors and the shape of the board to find where each crown belongs.
Every round starts with two hearts. A wrong crown costs one heart and leaves a red ×. The free daily challenge gives you one 10-minute attempt. Levels give you 200 seconds and cost 20 energy to start or restart. Reviving keeps your board and costs 10 energy in Levels.
A region of its own.
Each colored region holds exactly one crown. Start with smaller regions, then look for rows or columns with only one possible square.
A little breathing room.
No two crowns may touch, including at the corners. Unlike chess queens, crowns can share a diagonal if they aren't next to each other.
