About the game
Seiji Kanai created the two-player abstract game RR – Regality and Religion – for a design competition with this restriction: "Create a game for 500 yen" (about $5). The game consists of 15 cards. Both players start with a set of seven identical cards that act as pawns on a 3x3 board. Players take turns placing one of their cards in hand onto the board, with the card facing the active player. Some cards, when placed, rotate one or more of the surrounding cards upside down, making them face the other way; other cards destroy surrounding cards. The game ends when the board is full, at which point the player with the most cards facing him wins. Re-implemented by: RRR – Regality vs. Religion: Revolution, an enhanced version of RR, comes in a box with a game board, card board tiles instead of cards, and eleven "neutral" tiles, five of which are randomly used in each game and available to both players.

Questions and answers
RR supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for RR is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists RR for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
RR has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
RR belongs to these categories: Fantasy and Abstract Strategy. Its main mechanics are Tile Placement.
