You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you? Just when you’ve thought you won the crown, 4 new Princesses of Twelvefold enter the battle!

Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past is a follow-up to Darrington Press’ August 2023 release, Queen by Midnight, that can be played as a standalone expansion or as an addition to the core game. Choose a Princess to fight with in this immersive, battle-royale deck-building board game of strategy, treachery, guile, and brawn. 

For the first time, face off with as few as two players! This new standalone expansion is built to be a great introduction to Queen by Midnight and includes a ton of new options for play with the original game: 4 full new Princesses with their own strategies and a wealth of new Bazaar Cards to shake up strategies with the original. 

*NOTE: Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past includes cards and rules to play with the core game, as well as errata cards from the first printing.

Great Game, Good Design, Phenomenal Artwork

I bought this game together with the base game and i love it. I play it a lot and all the charakters are very well balanced. The strategies with some matchups are a real piece of work, which is great for people who love strategizing. I can recommend it.

The family loves playing this game. The art is so beautiful. Glade, you can now play with 2 players, but it is still more fun with more

Very nice expansion!

This game offers very fun new characters and new bazaar cards to add on to the base game. It is also very fun to play this expansion with 4 players. However one character has some abilities that are unusable at 2 or 3 players, and one character is unfun to play against 1v1. So in essence there are only 2 characters in this expansion to play a 2 player game with.
If that is your goal, the base game works just as fine (or in my opinion better) when playing with 2 or 3 players.

Queen by Midnight expansion

It's definitely worth the purchase as it gives you content you wish you had in the base game. I ordered this product and the day I was to receive it I got an email saying it was delivered, however I couldn't find it. Needless to say when I reached out they were so cordial and would take care of it even though the UPS person hid the package on my porch and wasn't until I called them that I realized I did indeed receive it. I said that all to say great people, great product, great costumer service, so what more can you ask for?

Great expansion to an immersive strategy game

The base queen by midnight game was a hit, but adding in this expansion was an instant enjoyable add. The various queen play styles allows new and experienced gamers to play and compete. Quarter past adds fun strategies that allow players to directly impact other players deck building, not just their armory or hand, and really changes the long term strategy. Cheers to great work and fingers crossed for even more fun.
