Annulet is a strategic board game for 1–4 players, set in the same world as The Old King's Crown. It's designed to feel like an ancient game from another era – something that could just as easily be played over a worn table in an inn as in a grand hall, with wood, fabric, and stone giving the game a distinctly tactile feel.

In each round, players compete for initiative and draft cards from a common row to build their own kingdoms. The cards can be lands, characters, or annulets, and each type contributes in its own way. Lands create valuable sets, characters alter how lands function and open up clever scoring opportunities, while annulets provide gemstones that serve both as currency for extra actions and as bonus points at the end of the game.

What makes Annulet particularly interesting is the balance between scoring and room for action. You want to collect crowns and build strong sets, but those stones are hard to ignore when they can give you more options precisely when you need them. Additionally, each player has a personal set of fate cards, whose special abilities can change the pace, disrupt opponents, or give you control over a crucial situation.

Overlaying all of this are the tale cards, representing the stories and history of the kingdom. They change the rules for the entire table, giving each game its own rhythm. Annulet is for those who enjoy strategy games with card drafting, set collection, and clever timing decisions, but also want a gaming experience that feels more like a small artifact from a fantasy world than just another card game.
