The monarchy has crumbled. The realm is in chaos. Alliances are formed and shattered as the remnants of meagre factions contend for the seat of power. Crownfell is a dynamic abstract strategy game played with eight cards on a 5x5 grid. Each card represents a character with unique movement and special rules. In each game, players draft four out of a pool of 17 unique characters, resulting in a very different game each time. Their asymmetrical abilities and movement lead to surprising and dramatic moments. Capture all your opponent's pieces to win. In Crownfell, nothing is permanent... including a strong lead. Move onto the centre space to rally your allies or resurrect the fallen. Captured cards can be revived from the discard pile by either player. In this game, defeated pieces can switch sides! -description from the designer
