Mata la Reina -MLR or (Kill) The Queen (Kill)- is a YOCTOBIT Game-based Experiments’ project, a mixture of a collaborative exploration game and a first person action theater, commisioned by Intermediæ-Matadero Madrid in 2012.
GAME DESCRIPTION
Players become human tokens on a giant hexagons board. They must collect a number of elements that form part of a “puzzle” and solve it in a collaborative way, in order to overthrow the queen. This should occur behind the queen and his droids, they shouldn’t become aware of the hatched plan.
About MATA LA REINA – (Kill) The Queen (Kill)-:
This is the game-played theater project’s plot: resistance (the players), under the vagaries of a authoritarian, self-centered and obsessed with control Queen, must prepare and execute a plan to depose the royal governess.
YOCTOBIT Game-based Experiments research group coordinated theoretical sessions and monthly presentations at Intermediæ-Matadero Madrid as part of the parallel activities programme of this project.
