Heart of Crown: 2nd Edition brings modern updates both in graphic design and gameplay to the deck-building game. Many cards have updated texts, some cards have been removed, and new cards (Attendant Maids) have been added. Seven Princess in line for succession, but with only one coronation, who will be the one to save the Empire from chaos? In a deck-building game, every player starts with the same deck of cards, but your individual strategy will determine the cards you purchase to strengthen your deck. Be the first to crown your princess in the Coronation Ceremony. Everything you need to play Heart of Crown comes in this stand-alone box, but the game is compatible with all previous Heart of Crown releases!
