Heart of Crown
Heart of Crown is a deck-building card game designed by ginkgo and published in English by Japanime Games. The emperor has died without naming a successor, and you're an influential figure in the empire trying to put your favourite princess on the throne. Everyone starts with the same small deck: spend your coins on stronger cards from the market, field your princess before a rival claims her, then gather 20 succession points to crown her.

About the game
The emperor left no heir. Gobgob has opinions.
Gobgob's favourite bit: Declaring a coronation. Everyone else gets one last turn to drag your points back below 20, so the whole table turns on you at once. Very royal. Very stressful.
👥 2–4 players | ⏱ 30–60 min | 🎂 Ages 12+
