Card noir Crown of Ash

Crown of Ash is a strategic worker placement and area control game for 1 to 4 players.

The promise of a dreamless sleep was a lie. The Lords awoke after a hundred years of staring into deepest depths of oblivion; every moment wracked by nightmarish dreams. They no longer cared for peace, but now desired power.

The bleak slumber had revealed an ancient secret to them, the arcane knowledge of necromancy. It gave them the ability to build armies from the wastes of their lands. Those fallen in the first war, would rise again and march into a bloody second, a devastating conflict that would determine who, at last, would lay claim to the Crown of Ash.

Players take on the role of vengeful necromancers. Sending out their loyal minions to do their bidding.
