The Old King's Crown (PREORDER)
The Old King’s Crown is a strategy game of skill and intrigue, set in an ancient,crumbling kingdom, where every card is a window into a fantastical land.
You will choose a faction you wish to command, brought to life with unique abilities and hand-crafted illustrations, as you vie for political and martial control.
The Nobility: Backed by pernicious councillors and towering walls.
The Clans: Ready to raid and reclaim that which prior monarchs stole.
The Uprising: A people’s rebellion born of cities and smoke.
The Gathering: A masked cult that recruits by moonlight.
As you assemble around the grand kingdom board, eye your opponents carefully as they contest the various locations and regions of the map, hoping to secure vital resources. Send your emissaries to court, journey to distant sites of power and search the great road for new artifacts, allies and opportunities.
