Crownfall is a regal cooperative card game where 1 to 4 champions take on the kingdom — fought entirely with a single standard deck. Twelve royals stand between you and victory: four Jacks, four Queens, four Kings, each striking back harder than the last. Every turn is a puzzle. Run out of cards and the kingdom falls. What to Expect: • 1–4 player cooperative play • Tactical co-op ruleset built on a single 52-card deck • Pass & Play on a single device, or multi-device on iOS mesh network; no internet, no accounts, no servers • Persistent stats — enemies defeated, exact kills, best play, total damage, damage blocked, refills used • Suspend & resume — close the app mid-quest, come back to your exact game • Native iPhone and iPad • No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking Easy to teach (any deck of cards already does most of the work), brutally tight on the upper tiers, and infinitely replayable thanks to the shuffle. Each match runs about 15–25 minutes.
