Here is a good 2 minute blurb about the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyAwobPCCW0
If anyone lives near a machine, I'd recommend getting a few friends and playing together. http://killerqueenarcade.com/locations/
If anyone is in/near NYC and wants to learn, I'd happily teach some noobs and burn some cash at the Chinatown arcade.

We have one in Kansas City. It is indeed very fun. They occasionally run tournaments, but they keep happening on nights where I have something else.
I don’t have a dedicated enough posse to build a solid team around, though. I wish I did. This is the kind of game where five dedicated people can make a killer team with an adaptive strategy.
I’ve only been queen during one session, but it was fun. I could play the queen again. It helps to know that the queen’s real job is not just to not get killed but to prep the board for the drones to benefit. Knowing that now means I’ll have to carefully phrase my suggestion to the next queen who isn’t doing that. That does explain why some games were easy to promote my drone and some were not.

We had a sticker at work next to the machine, rules for the queen
1) don't die
2) get gates
when a queen died, especially to quickly, we'd always taunt him (her?) with the note.

Oh man, they had this at MAGFest last year. Really really fun game.

Sounds dynamite. With a laser beam.
Edit: *reads rules* Hey, I remember this from something! I must have seen their website when they were in the planning phases, before they had produced the cabinets.

Seriously. Why isn’t Queen being blared from this machine? I mean, aside from licensing restrictions?
I’m grateful for this thread, because when Killer Queen first came to my city, I couldn’t find rules or hints on how to play it. I only found promotional stuff. Like I said earlier, it would have been nice to know early on that the queen’s goal is to touch gates.
It’s fun to play a team that is all gung ho and you surprise them with an economic (or snail!) victory.

FWIW, if you are in/visiting NYC, there is now a free play cabinent at reclamation bar in williamsburg.
