Game Preview | Crownfell

Watch “Game Preview | Crownfell,” a board game review for Crownfell from Sir Thecos on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Sir Thecos on YouTube:

In this preview of Crownfell, I dig into its dynamic abstract gameplay on a 5×5 grid using eight character cards, each with unique movement and rules. Players draft four out of 17 characters, creating fresh asymmetry every game. You win by capturing all opposing pieces to win, but there are many aspects to keep in mind: The center space lets you rally allies and resurrect captured cards, and pieces can even switch sides. I walk through how the game plays and play a session of the solo mode which you can add to the game as well. This will be part of a Crowd Sale on The Game Crafter on November 18, 2025. Description on BoardGameGeek: "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."

About Crownfell, from BoardGameGeek:

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
