The throne lies empty. A kingdom teeters on the brink. In the power vacuum, rival factions rise. Each hungers for dominance.

In The Old King's Crown, 1 to 4 players face off in taut, tense, card-driven battles that fuse careful hand management, bluffing, and bidding across shifting battlefields. Every choice is a test of wit and nerve, rich with possibilities and peril.

Five years in the making and brought to life with some of the most breathtaking artwork ever to grace a tabletop, this fiercely interactive game has been honed through years of dedicated development and playtesting.

For those who stand alone, a fully fledged solitaire mode awaits - build your opponent and face the Simulacrum using the game's innovative Forge system.

Coming to the Zatu catalogue in Q4 2025.
