Venture 3.2.1 — the Crown you lose is the one you want back. YOU'LL KNOW When someone takes one of your Crowns, you get told — and you land straight on that country, at the price it now costs to take it back. SHARE YOUR CROWN Every Crown you hold makes a card worth posting: the flag, your name, and what it would cost anyone else to take it from you. Plus fixes and polish throughout.

Venture 3.2.0 — Crowns. CROWNS Every country on earth has exactly one ruler. Claim an unclaimed country for one coin. After that, it costs one coin more than the last person paid — forever. Take a country, hold it, and see how long you keep it. BEEN THERE If your own photos prove you have actually stood in the country you rule, your Crown carries a Been There mark. Nobody can award themselves one. THE RECORD Every Crown keeps its whole history — every ruler, every price they paid, and how long each reign lasted. Plus sharper maps and polish throughout. Every place you've been, beautifully mapped.
