Crown Gambit is a tactical narrative card game set in a chaotic capital where players must prevent the kingdom's downfall. The game is set in a mysterious, dark fantasy world inspired by Celtic and Breton folklore, and French artist Gobert is the artistic director. Players take on the role of three fearless paladins who navigate turbulent political landscapes. After pledging allegiance to one of the throne's contenders, they must help them seize power. The key is to follow their principles but beware: every choice comes with a price.
Crown Gambit combines impactful card-based combat and deck-building with rich storytelling, offering captivating narratives and multiple possible endings.
GAME FEATURES:
- Lead a Team of Three Bold Paladins: Players will take charge of Aliza, the bloodthirsty swordswoman; Hael, the radiant mace-wielding cleric; and Rollo, the cunning rogue armed with his crushing anchor. Together, they must navigate the chaos of political turmoil.
- Strategic Deck Preparation: Each paladin’s deck must be meticulously crafted to overcome the challenges ahead. Synergizing abilities and fostering a well-coordinated team will be key to defeating foes in style—every move matters!
- Epic Turn-Based Tactical Card Battles: Face dishonorable scoundrels, formidable knights, and occult beasts in thrilling, strategic combat. Unlock devastating techniques and shape each paladin’s unique abilities as you progress.
- Power Comes at a Cost: By invoking the dark powers of the Ancestral Grace, players can unleash devastating attacks—but the price of wielding divine might may be their very soul.
Crown Gambit will be released June 18, 2025, on PC/Mac via Steam.
