Heart of Crown

Players vie to seat a chosen princess as emperor by building and customizing a personal deck of territory, support, and action cards. Each player begins with an identical weak deck and uses income from territory cards to buy stronger locations and abilities from a shared market, improving coin generation and card interaction. Players field one of several princesses (each with unique support powers) and gather Succession Points from supporters and influential cards; reaching 20 Succession Points allows a coronation attempt that can be contested before it succeeds. Deck-building, resource management, and timing determine who secures the throne.
