Crown Gambit is a tactical narrative game that transports players to a chaotic capital where they will need to prevent the realm’s downfall. In this mysterious dark-fantasy universe inspired by Celtic and Breton folklore and drawn by French artist Gobert, players will use the skills of three intrepid paladins to overcome political turmoil. Aliza, the blood-bending swashbuckler, Hael, the mace-wielding cleric, and Rollo, the anchor-waving tanker will have to make dreadful choices during their journey as they pledge allegiance to one of the pretenders to the throne.
Crown Gambit mixes board-shattering card battles and deck-building with strong narrative, storytelling and multiple endings. Players will interact with a wide cast of fascinating characters and will have to make difficult decisions to reveal all their secrets.
