Old World

Old World (also known as 10 Crowns) is a turn-based strategy game that puts you in charge of an ancient dynasty. You don’t just manage cities or armies—you manage a family across generations. Each turn represents a year, so every choice counts. Think you can build an empire one decision at a time? Let’s find out.

What Makes Old World Different?

Unlike typical strategy games, this one mixes dynasty management with empire-building. You plan moves on a hex grid, gather resources, and keep an eye on a dynamic market that actually behaves like a real economy. It’s strategy, but with a bit of unpredictability thrown in. Ever tried managing a kingdom where your own family’s traits shape the game? It’s a neat twist.

Key Features

• Dynasty Management: Guide your family through generations. Each character has unique traits that affect gameplay.
• Ambitions and Goals: Complete 10 procedural tasks inspired by history. Need a challenge? You got it.
• Resource Gathering: Manage food, wood, stone, and iron. Trade smart or face shortages. Lesson learned: always carry extra supplies.
• Dynamic Market: Prices shift with supply and demand—no two games feel the same.
• Technology Cards: Build and customize a deck for tech advances. Pick wisely; every choice matters.
• Strategic Combat and Wonders: War isn’t just about brute force, and building wonders requires planning.

Gameplay and Victory

The game plays out on a hex map where you expand your cities and build structures. Actions are limited by orders, which you can increase by gaining legitimacy. Want to wage war or build a wonder? You’ll have to plan ahead. Victory comes either by completing those ambitions or racking up the highest score.

Why Try Old World?

If you’re into strategy with a fresh spin and don’t mind juggling family drama alongside empire management, this one’s worth a look. It’s not just about conquest—sometimes it’s about who you trust at the dinner table. Plus, it’s free to start, so why not give it a shot?
