The Emperor is dead, and the throne lies empty. As a powerful noble, you must rally your influence to support a princess of your choosing and see her crowned. But you’re not alone rival factions will use coin, cunning, and courtly strategy to claim the crown first. In this fast-paced deck-building game, you must build your economy, secure your domain, and race to 20 Succession Points before your opponents outmaneuver you.
Heart of Crown: Second Edition refines the beloved anime-style deck-builder with clearer layouts, updated card text, and tighter balance. It introduces a new Succession card type (Attendants/Maids) that add strategic depth without slowing gameplay. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, this edition offers a smooth, competitive experience that plays in under an hour, making it perfect for both casual and strategic game nights.
This edition features full-art card designs with rich, detailed anime artwork and polished iconography for ease of play. The cards are beautifully illustrated, the box is compact and efficient, and the production quality ensures durable, shufflable cards and smooth setup. It's a gorgeous upgrade that honors the original while elevating the experience.
