Who it's for

Fans of dark fantasy worker placement who want real area control conflict layered on top of resource management.

Not for you if…

You prefer peaceful engine-building – Crown of Ash's structures exist to be fought over, not just optimized.

🦊

Vibe's take

Weighty and combative – worker placement builds your engine, but the real tension comes from committing armies to battles you might lose.

About this game

Crown of Ash is a worker placement and area control game of warring necromancers. You raise undead armies from resources gathered by loyal minions, build structures for influence, and march your forces into battle to seize the fallen Crown of Ash.
