“Mary Queen of Scots” is the new film that tells the story of two women fighting over the chance to lead a nation. You have the upstart Mary Stuart attempting to take down the seemingly evil Queen Elizabeth I. And what better way to celebrate the film’s upcoming nationwide theatrical expansion than with a prize pack that will allow you to bring the rivalry of two famous women to the comfort of your own home?
No, we’re not giving away a Blu-ray of the film (sorry guys, but you’re encouraged to go see this one in the theaters, as it’s well worth your time and money), but instead a prize pack that will allow you and a friend to play a competitive game at home that likely won’t end in death. At least we hope not.
In honor of “Mary Queen of Scots,” we are giving away a prize that includes two decks of cards, with the faces of actresses Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie gracing each respective deck. In addition, there are two sets of English Breakfast and Scottish Breakfast teas, as you might expect, allowing you to pick which side you’re on. And finally, as the card game heats up between you and your bitter rival, and the tea has warmed your bodies, you may need something to cool you down. Don’t worry, we got you covered, with two paper fans featuring the respective faces of the lovely actresses.

Here’s the synopsis for the film:
“Mary Queen of Scots” explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart (Saoirse Ronan). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. Upon her return, Elizabeth I (Robbie) is England’s Protestant Queen, but Mary is a Catholic. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.”
