## Description
The fight for the Eternal Throne has begun, and royalty is in an uproar! In Eternal: Chronicles of the Throne, you take on the role of a contender for the vacant throne, and the only way to secure your ascension is by eliminating the competition. To do this, you'll need a solid plan and a sharp deck. Recruit loyal allies, research devastating spells, and unearth powerful relics to strengthen your troops and your strategy. The inspiration comes from the creators of Clank!, blending deck-building with the excitement of strategic card battlers. You can focus on summoning creatures to attack your rivals directly, undermining their strength, or build an impenetrable defense, making yourself a hard target to take down. The big question is: will you play the long game, seeking the ultimate power of the Eternal Throne, or will you risk it all in a quick, audacious assault? The choices are yours, and the fate of the kingdom is in your hands. Prepare for a battle of wits and cards where every decision counts towards the conquest of absolute power. It's a game that demands planning but rewards with exciting twists and direct confrontations. If you enjoy card games with a strategic touch and a bit of 'take that' against opponents, you'll feel right at home. The dynamic of improving your deck with each play is addictive, and the pursuit of relics and spells adds interesting layers to the experience. Each game is a new opportunity to chart different paths to victory, whether through brute force or tactical cunning. Who will be the next to reign?
