Queen By Midnight is the latest game to come from Darrington Press, Critical Role’s game publishing company, and it has taken the TTRPG space by storm. Selling out in less than an hour every day at GenCon, this battle royale deck-building card game allows players to step into the roles of badass princesses to compete to become Queen of the Midnight Court by the time the clock strikes midnight. Each princess has their own in-depth backstory, inspired by fairytales and folklore, and special skills that players can utilize to come out on top.
Queen By Midnight is Kyle Shire’s first game. The Critical Role producer created and designed the game, with additional design provided by Alex Uboldi once Darrington Press became involved. The graphic design of Queen By Midnight was done by Matt Paquette & Co. with stunning art from Ameera Sheikh, Michal Ivan, and Mike Pape. Queen By Midnight can be played by 3-6 players and is for ages 12 and older.
Kyle Shire spoke with Screen Rant about Queen By Midnight, revealing the inspiration for the game and explaining the character creation for each of the princesses. Shire broke down the development process and how he worked with Darrington Press to make his game a reality. He also shared how his experience at Critical Role helped him and why he loves working on Sam Riegel’s hilarious ads at the beginning of every Critical Role episode.
Screen Rant: Thank you so much for joining me today. I’m very excited to talk to you about Queen By Midnight because it looks like so much fun. It sold out at GenCon every day in 15 minutes! How did that feel?
