The great emperor’s untimely death… Seven princesses are candidates for his succession! Who will save the empire from chaos? HEART of CROWN Online is a deck-building card game based on HEART of CROWN 2nd Edition, which was relaunched in 2022.

Story

In a wild time when swords and magic still ruled the world, an empire had united the entire continent and ended a long war. However, before the peace could be solidified, the great emperor fell ill, without a successor in place……

If this continues, we could be back to a war-torn world! You are one of the most powerful people in the empire. You must quickly establish the emperor’s throne and ensure the unity and peace of the continent. The emperor had no male children, but fortunately, he had seven candidates to succeed him, including two princesses of direct descent.

Now, let’s get the princess of your dreams to ascend to the throne!
