Crownfall rules

There is no checkmate rule. Enemy attacks can capture your King and end the run. The Crown cannot be captured until you reach the Influence target.

Every normal move grants a base score; recognised Tactical Patterns then add points. Studies improve their value and Doctrines add synergies and multipliers.

Tactics are deterministic. Freeze, Guard and False Queen do not end your action; Blink does.
