Is this game just a bunch of random chance?

It seems completely random...

The initial mechanic of: here's a card> make a left or right choice> here's another random card make another left or right choice is as far as I can tell, yes, random.
But that's pretty much it... the ways that those things influence your 4 resources becomes easier to predict as you get a feel for the game. Sometimes there's a little dot above one of the four icons at the top, and sometimes there's a big one. It gets easier to make judgement calls the more you get used to what those values might represent.

There are far deeper mechanics to Reigns than just those little choices. Some events unlock other events and mechanics. Some events provide hints about other mechanics you may not have discovered. Ultimately it's ok if you die... your goal shouldn't be to try to live every reign to 100 years... you only really need to care about that if you want the achievements.

I don't reccomend looking for spoilers. explore, take notes (there's a least one thing you will want to write down on paper) and remember... at most maybe a couple minutes per reign before your successor takes over, you haven't invested enough to be upset if the game throws you a curveball.

I hope you're not expecting triple A quality from a 3 dollar game

Um no but it seems kinda pointless if there's no skill involved, the only way to get ahead seems like dumb luck.

It's a 3 dollar game to kill time if you're bored, If you want skill go look for a skill based game

Hi Guys !

Sorry for my english, I'm french.

Look at this video (in french...). Reigns is a lot more than just a "random game of 3 dollars"...

I don't know I mean I do like this game but it really does just seem random with no real way to know whether your choices will be good or bad and the results often change even when asked the same question more than once.
