Two Crowns

In the two-player card game Two Crowns, you lay siege to your opponent's castle with a strategic mix of tactical insight and skillful bluffing. Luck is a minor factor in battle. By cleverly choosing when to go on the offensive with your knights, and by spending gold on special units like vassals, bishops or catapults, you can gain the upper hand in this strategic card battle between two medieval lords.

During your turn, you are the attacking player. To attack your opponent's castle die, choose up to four knight cards – which have 1-3 attack points – from your hand and place them face down in front of you. The defending player may choose to defend his castle by playing up to four cards from his hand face down in front of him. Whoever has the most combined attack points wins the battle – but both the attacking and defending player can use special cards, which cost gold, to turn the tide: "Vassal" doubles the combined attack points of your knights, "Bishop" lets you steal your opponent's strongest knight, "Catapult" deals damage directly, and "Feint" lets you temporarily remove your opponent's strongest knight.
