Laurel Crown (2017)

About this game

Laurel Crown is a light press-your-luck gambling game with a draft mechanism. At the start of each round, tournament cards are drawn that determine the conditions for the current fights. After a light draft, the players send in their fighters to the various tournaments, then roll dice to determine the power of each fighter and activate special powers, gaining points along the way. Whoever has the most points when all tournaments are resolved wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
