It is time to return to the Tree, traveler. I am thrilled to announce a new physical release of Our Queen Crumbles, the Hallowed Edition, coming to BackerKit in three weeks.

Another Journey

This new edition is a big upgrade from the zine I created five years ago. The team at NessunDove has redesigned the format of the game to beautiful, reusable laminated cards which make playing so much smoother. This new design makes for one of the best pick-up-and play experiences of any story game out there.

The Hallowed Edition will be available in both English and Italian with new art by Al Lukehart, the game's original illustrator, and exclusive scenario content including an all-new alternative map and a bunch of variant playbooks from the Retainers expansion.

You can sign up for a notification when the project launches here.

For those new to Halloway

Our Queen Crumbles is a collaborative storytelling game for 2-4 players about revenge, inevitable death, and saying goodbye to those you love. On May 1st, 2025, it will be back on BackerKit for a new and revised Hallowed Edition.

The game is set in the weird-fantasy land of Halloway, where the dead whisper to those who listen and the fundamental forces of nature can be bent to your will. The game is meant to be played in a single sitting, and is focused on developing interesting and dynamic characters over the course of a few hours—no matter your roleplaying experience.

The campaign will fund the production of a boxed edition of Our Queen Crumbles in English and Italian, with 30 reusable laminated cards containing the rules of the game and every handout you need to play. Write on the sheets with any water-based marker, lead your Queen to her final rest over the course of an evening, then erase the remains of your game and do it all over again.
