Crown & Capital

The previous king has wasted away all of the gold from the treasury on frivolous goods, and the kingdom has fallen into disrepair. Now that you have been crowned ruler, managing the finances of the kingdom is your responsibility!

Control Your Kingdom’s Happiness and Reputation

As ruler, your decisions have an impact on the world around you. Keeping your townsfolk happy is critical to staying in power. Your subjects are mostly concerned with your ability to take care of their most basic needs. However, from time to time, even the most loyal subject will want for some fun and games to be as happy as can be!

Your reputation among the neighboring kingdoms will determine how your name goes down in history. Other rulers care little for your basic needs; they want to see how you will spend on extravagances beyond just what you need to survive.

Don't Miss a Payment!

Mismanaging your monthly expenses can have disastrous consequences. If you don’t take care of your bills they will pile up and cause expensive problems to occur for you to pay your way out of.

Crown and Capital is built to support state and federal financial literacy curricula for learning how to plan out and commit to a budget. While the game can be played singleplayer, it also supports play in a facilitated classroom setting.

Cover Your Needs

Every month you must ensure that you have set aside enough gold to cover your necessary costs – a castle loan, grain, wood, horse stabling, and tribute. These needs are mapped to realistic monthly costs one should prepare for – rent, food, utilities, transportation, and insurance.

Manage Your Wants

To truly impress your neighbors, you’ll have to strategize around purchasing different goods around town. Hire entertainers to keep your townsfolk happy, acquire goods from distant lands, feast on all sorts of exotic foods, and more!

Plan for the Future

Large upgrades to the kingdom will take several weeks or months of saving before making such a commitment. Consistently setting small amounts aside from week to week will help to save enough for such major purchases.

Prepare for the Worst

Even the best of planning can’t count for emergency situations and unexpected expenses. Unpredictable events may occur each week demanding that you always keep something set aside for rainy days.
