About this game

Two rondels drive your actions as you work to care for the citizens of a medieval kingdom. Crown of Emara uses a dual-rondel system where your two advisors move independently, and the combination of their positions determines your available actions. Your score is the lower of your two scoring tracks, forcing balanced development. Build houses, craft goods, recruit citizens, and manage resources in a Euro that rewards careful planning across both tracks.
