Crown and Council

This game is absolutely fantastic, until it isn't. Bad news first. The game makes no attempt to grab your attention. There's little penalty for failure, which made me remarkably apathetic about a map's outcome. The skill ceiling is low and quickly reached, so no satisfaction in overcoming a challenge. There's not a lot to discover; any new elements that come into play usually don't have enough impact to make much of a difference, and you rarely need to change your tactics because of the map. There's no story to reach the end of. The art suffers from a serious case of Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V, so no eye candy incentive. The RNG influence made me feel like I wasn't too involved (a particularly bad example was an aquatic map I had to play, made almost entirely of island territories. Due to the limited income and the expense needed for fleets, I had only one attack per turn until I was the dominant player. If the game decided a territory wanted to rebel, too bad for me; I justed wasted a turn, nothi...

It's free. It's fun. And it dosen't ask me to constantly play it more. 10/10

Random result for battle are a pain. The player with the best luck in the first few battles will win. Even a great strategy won't compensate initial luck. If you like strategy, avoid this game, it will annoy you. Try it if you want a small little time waster.

Like Risk, but with a more interesting and varied design. There are only a few options for what you can do each turn with your gold, but learning to use them to their best advantage will take a little time. There's also a certain amount of luck in the game; a better strategy will help you to prevail against an equally-lucky or slightly-luckier AI, but at certain key points bad luck can just overwhelm you. At the price, this is a good game. A few more complicating elements might have been enough to lift it to being a great one, but it meets its limited ambitions admirably.

This is a fun little game with more strategy to it than you might think at first. Would be nice if combat wasn't quite so random, but otherwise it's a good time killer. Also good that it is free; not just a "free-to-play."

Very good strategy game and pne of the vest out there .... And defenitly better than minecraft😜😜😜😜

If you are a fan of Risk, you will enjoy this simple, short-session strategy game.

Would be fun if you don't have to constantly resetting the map because you spawned at a bad location and cannot expand with 2 gold while AI starts with 6~8 gold and can literally steamroll you on first turn if RNG is bad enough
