Ostrogoths & Visigoths had kept their rivalries relatively peaceful by marrying the daughter of one clan's king to the king of the other clan. And everything was fine. Until one day, vile brigands captured the young queen. Forgetting their alliance, the two sovereigns blamed each other for her disappearance, and went to war again, one trying to rescue his daughter, the other trying to rescue his queen. But the methods for communication in those times were not particularly reliable; there was no guarantee that the order issued would be correctly executed on the ground. As a result, the conflict quickly became a bit... chaotic.

In Goths Save The Queen, two teams are fighting to save the Queen hidden in the middle of the table. Each team is composed of one player giving orders and another one trying to understand which order has been given.
