Crown is an Action-Treasure card from Empires. It is a Throne Room variant that plays either Treasures or Actions depending on which phase of your turn it's played in. It is the only Action-Treasure in the game, and the only Action that can be played during your own Buy phase (Caravan Guard can be played during another player's Buy phase).
FAQ
Official FAQ
- If you play this in your Action phase, you play an Action card from your hand, then play the same card again; this does not use up any extra Actions you have.
- If you play this in your Buy phase, you play a Treasure from your hand, then play it again; this does not use up any Actions at all.
- Crown can be used to play another Crown in either your Action or Buy phase, causing you to either play two more Actions twice each, or two more Treasures twice each.
- If you play Crown in your Action phase via something that lets you play Treasures (like Storyteller from Dominion: Adventures), Crown will still play an Action card twice.
Other Rules clarifications
- The start of your turn is considered part of your Action phase. This can arise if you play Crown using Prince (which requires cost reduction) or a card set aside by Prince (such as Throne Room or Herald).

Crown is Dominion's first Action/Treasure. It's an Action. It's a Treasure. You can play it whenever you can play either of those things. It counts as both of those things for cards that care about what other cards are. It does something different depending on whether it's your Action phase or your Buy phase; not that different, though. You might use it as a Throne Room that doesn't totally suck if it doesn't collide with your other Actions. Or maybe you want to save it for your treasures; playing Platinum twice is probably better than playing Chancellor twice. When the crown's on your head, you make the call.
Secret History
The first version was an Action that played an Action or Treasure twice. You really want it to be a Treasure too, so you don't draw it dead off of card-drawing. So, an Action - Treasure card! It always seemed like that would be too confusing, but here was one that was no trouble. It's something how popular it is even in games where you are almost always using it as Throne Room.
