Regicide Crownfall
Your hand is your army—and your defense. Defeat twelve royals.
Choose your attack
How to survive
Play one card, equal ranks totaling at most 10, or an ace paired with one other card. Suit powers use the full combined value, then damage lands. The royal ignores its own suit’s power. Aces count 1, captured J/Q/K count 10/15/20.
If the royal survives, discard cards worth at least its attack minus your accumulated shield. Defense discards have no suit powers. Shield resets for each royal. Exact damage recruits the defeated royal on top of the draw pile; overkill sends it to discard.
Two refreshes discard your whole hand and draw up to eight cards. Use them before you run out of defense. Defeat all twelve royals to win; an empty attack hand or unaffordable counterattack without refreshes ends the campaign. The guided opening has a fixed deck; change to Shuffled and change seed for a new challenge.
