Crown: War of Succession is a competitive board game that combines action point allocation, area movement, and hand management mechanics. Players will take on the role of animal heroes participating in the battle for the sacred forest relic - the Crown. The game consists of multiple chapters, where each player can take actions during their turn, such as traveling, resting, playing action cards, or using action points to enhance their attributes for more powerful skills. Players will accumulate combat experience, gather resources, and acquire items to strengthen their characters through battles or by conquering settlements. There are three different ways to win: accumulate 15 victory points, control 6 settlements, or raise your combat skill to the final level.
