Pros
- All for Freedom and for Pleasure - Spacebiff reviews The Old King’s Crown
- Also anyone that says that there is not a high level of strategy to Old Kings Crown is just objectively incorrect.
- Beautiful artwork though, I'd say that's it's one redeeming feature!
- The Broken Meeple gave a 7/10 ("Good") to the solo version of the game and a 6/10 ("Above average") to the 2-3 player version. I've never seen so much praise for a solo version of a game over multiplayer.
- The Old King’s Crown has reminded me of why I fell in love with board games. Such a rich experience every time
Cons
- (Not pictured: The Old King's Crown and Betrayal at the House on the Hill)
- It’s the type of design that becomes balanced by the players through table talk, bluffing and negotiation and comes from wanting to play a small number of games many times with the same group and it rewards that
- Our playgroup bounced off it super hard, and it was sold online before I had even got home from game night! We found that people were being locked out of entire rounds or having their plans scuppered by enormously unsatisfying "gotcha" m...
- Zee Garcia gave it a 6/10, saying it was too convoluted and some of the actions could be simply done by a dice roll instead.
- Have The Old King's Crown being fulfilled soon

Our playgroup bounced off it super hard, and it was sold online before I had even got home from game night! We found that people were being locked out of entire rounds or having their plans scuppered by enormously unsatisfying "gotcha" moments from faction specific abilities.
