Crowned in Starlight

The monarch is dead, the crowndom fractured, and the fate of the realm hangs in perilous balance. Outcast clans, scheming courtiers, powerful warlords… all eyes turn toward the vacant throne. With your partner at your side, will you claim the crown, or will your banner fade into obscurity?

No turns. No downtime. Just power plays.

Crowned in Starlight is a real-time, team-based 4X experience where all players act at once… alliances shift, battles erupt, and plans collide at any moment. Up to six teams of two players (Commander and Diplomat) compete across a shared galaxy, and adding more players doesn’t increase the game’s ~3 hour length. It’s fast enough to be the centerpiece of a game night, while still delivering the full depth of a grand strategy experience. With 12 unique factions, 40+ game-altering decrees, 40+ randomized goals, and custom galaxy map generation, no two games play the same!

Become the Commander to conquer the galaxy…

Build and command fleets, expand across the map, and research powerful technologies. Control key systems, outmaneuver your rivals, and decide where and when wars are fought.

Or become the Diplomat to make savvy deals…

Shape the game through negotiation, decrees, and influence. Forge alliances, sway votes, and recruit powerful cards to tip the balance of power in your favor.

All in a 'mega' board game experience you won’t forget!
