Crystal Crusade is a turn-based strategy game where players take control of one of five distinct fantasy nations. Players will mine crystals and use those crystals to; purchase new workers, build additional buildings in the surrounding zones, and promote workers into military units that will be used for combat. The map in Crystal Crusade is a 11x11 squared tiled board and is filled with Crystal Mines, Watch Towers, Treasure Chests, and Neutral Creatures. Players will work to control key areas of the map to gather victory points and deny the opponent resources. —description from the designer
