Description

The Old King's Crown is a game of card-driven conquest where you play as heirs to a vacant throne, vying for control of an ancient, overgrown kingdom. With one to four players competing for the crown, you'll need to wield unique abilities and leverage your followers' traits to outwit your opponents. The game takes place across a map that stretches from the castle to the necropolis, with each location holding its own rewards and challenges. As the leader of your faction, you'll be staking claims openly with Heralds while also positioning your forces in secret, hoping to claim the locations that fit your designs. As you navigate the game, you'll need to keep a close eye on your rivals, who are also vying for control and have their own agents and agendas. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, The Old King's Crown is a game of strategy and skill, where betting and bluffing, card play conflict resolution, and hand management all come into play. Designed by Pablo Clark and published in 2025, this fantasy-themed game is perfect for fans of medieval settings and card games. With its normal complexity level, it's easy for experienced board game players to learn and dive into, and with the option to expand with The Old King's Crown: Wild Kingdom, there's always more to explore. Will you emerge victorious and claim the crown, or will your rivals outmaneuver you?
