Once, the known world stood united under the banner of the Ruelen Empire. Over time, the Emperors of Ruele established a great civilization, its capital located in the mighty Imperial City. However, even such vast wealth and power does not satisfy all men, and it came to pass that the Emperor desired more. He wished to cement his own legacy for all time by challenging the monstrous Titans. These powerful beings dwelt in the volcanic peaks far from the lands of mankind.
Against the counsel of the Nine, his most trusted advisors, the Emperor led his grand army into the fiery mountains. Unfortunately, he had woefully underestimated his enemies. Amongst the magma and thundering roars of the Titans, the last Emperor of Ruele met his end, and the remnants of his forces returned in abject defeat.
The Emperor’s final battle came to be known as Ruele’s Doom, and in its aftermath, the Nine quarreled over whom was to succeed power in the Empire. None of the Nine trusted any of the others enough for a solid alliance, and many were bitter rivals of old. In time, the Ruelen Empire was shattered, torn apart into nine houses led by one of the Emperor’s former council. The realms of man were thrown into bitter conflict for decades to come, as each of the nine realms vied for power over the others – each seeking to reunite the broken Empire under their rule. This conflict became known as the Game of Crowns.
In Game of Crowns, each player takes control of one of the nine noble houses, using clever planning, skillful negotiation, and daring confrontations to gain dominance over their rivals to seize the crown!
