Crown of Ash

Players take the role of necromancer lords who awaken with forbidden knowledge and raise armies from the battlefield's dead. On each round, players place workers to gather resources, recruit and upgrade undead units, and construct buildings that improve resource production and generate influence. Area control and conflict drive the game: players march armies to capture opponents’ structures and defend their own, resolving battles to shift control of key territories. Over four rounds, influence from controlled structures determines the winner; the player with the most influence at the end claims rulership.
