Mojang, the Swedish game studio best known for a little game called Minecraft, not only just announced its next game, it just released it, too. The new title is called Crown and Council, and it’s described as “a fast-paced strategy game about conquering land and obliterating rival monarchs.” It looks sort of like a pixelated and streamlined Civilization, and as with most strategy games, the goal is to build up your empire by acquiring land, raising money, and building up a military force. Surprisingly, the game was actually developed in its entirety by just one member of the Mojang team, Henrik Pettersson. The best part is, Crown and Council is entirely free: you can download the game for free on Steam right now.
