Every Legend Starts at Level One. Continue the Story. Build the Future.

Join us for an exclusive first look at Cross & Crown: The Battle for Influence. The Burden of Nation Building, a new Indigenous strategy board game inspired by one of the most transformative periods in Hawaiian history.

Honolulu, Hawaiian Kingdom, 1879. King David Kalākaua has announced the construction of a royal palace unlike anything the Pacific has ever seen. What begins as a public works project quickly becomes a test of leadership, diplomacy, economics, culture, and faith.

Play as one of five competing factions the Ministry of the Interior, Faithful, People, Industry, or Nobles and navigate historically inspired political, economic, and cultural challenges as you shape the future of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

More than a game, this event offers a glimpse into Hawaiʻi's emerging interactive entertainment industry. Discover how Indigenous storytelling, tabletop games, video games, AI, and creative technology can preserve culture, inspire innovation, and create new economic opportunities.
