For the Crown (Second Edition)
Two rival princes fight a civil war for the kingdom by fielding armies and hunting down the opponent’s royal pieces. Players build custom decks of cards to recruit units, gain resources, and activate special abilities that affect movement and combat. A modular board shows day and night phases; daytime actions use straightforward maneuvering while nighttime introduces stealth units and surprise tactics. Victory comes from capturing the enemy King and Heirs or achieving strategic objectives through combined deck-building and tactical placement. The second edition consolidates previous content, adds new cards and variant rules, and increases component size for clearer play.
