Introduction
Heart of Crown: Six City Alliance is an expansion to the Heart of Crown Deck Building Card Game. Six City Alliance is not playable by itself. In order to play, you will need the Heart of Crown: Fairy Garden or the original Heart of Crown Base Set.
Using Six City Alliance Cards
Add the new Oasis Princess Emshielé card to the Princess Cards from the base set (and other expansions).
To use the 16 new types of Common Cards, combine them with your other Common Cards, then choose them in the usual manner to create a set of 10 types of Common Cards for the Supply Pile.
See the following for information on the new Misfortune cards.
Oasis City Nefertili
When you include Oasis Princess Emshielé in the game, you will also need to include the special Oasis City Nefertili Rare card as well. It goes in a special area that is not part of the Market, and players cannot buy it normally.
Contraband Tokens
When you back Oasis Princess Emshielé, you have to immediately place 3 Contraband Tokens on any stacks in the Market. Each Contraband Token on a stack increases the Cost to buy a card from that stack by +1 Coin.
Misfortune Cards
Put the 20 Misfortune cards face up in their own area when you set up the game.
FAQ by Topic
Oasis Princess Emshielé
Q. Does a player who backs Oasis Princess Emshielé also have to pay more due to their own Contraband Tokens?
A. Yes. They affect ALL players.
Q. When someone buys a card from a stack that has a Contraband Token on it, what happens to the Contraband Token?
A. Unless the stack has run out completely, it stays where it is.
Q. When someone buys the last card from a stack that has a Contraband Token on it, what happens to the Contraband Token?
A. Temporarily put it on top of Oasis Princess Emshielé. The player who backed Emshielé can put the token on any Market stack they wish during their next Main Phase.
Q. Can I put multiple Contraband Tokens on the same stack?
A. Yes, and they are cumulative.
Misfortune
Q. Can I use Scholar Princess Bergamotte's ability to discard a Misfortune card?
A. Yes. Misfortune does not count as a Curse.
Independent City
Q. If I only get 4 Coins during a Main Phase when I play an Independent City, can I then decide to back a princess during my Second Phase, using the additional 2 Coins to get up to the 6 Coins required?
A. Yes.
Archduke
Q. Do the Succession Points needed for victory increase by +10 every time an Archduke is set in a player's Domain?
A. No. It does not cumulatively increase the requirement by 10 points, but rather sets the requirements at 30/40 Succession Points.
Artillery Battery
Q. What happens when I play Artillery Battery and the player to my right used Princesses Lain and Shion to take another turn?
A. It only yields Coins based on the most recent turn, which in this case is the additional turn.
Crusaders
Q. When I use Crusaders' ability to remove a Conquest Counter and acquire a card, is it possible to remove 4 or more Counters and acquire multiple cards?
A. No, it is not. You can only remove 1-3 counters at a time, and you can only acquire 1 card at a time.
Magic Lamp
Q. Do I acquire 2 Misfortune cards every time I play a Magic Lamp?
A. That is correct.
Ninja Master
Q. What happens if I use Ninja Master to get the ability of Secret Stash?
A. Secret Stash has a Hand Activation Ability, so you cannot get its ability this way. Ninja Master cannot copy Hand Activation Abilities.
