About this game

GAME SYSTEM This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages. Excerpts from the publishers website, “Dark Millennium propels the Warhammer 40,000 collectible card game forward. Horus is dead and the Emperor lays interred on the Golden Throne. The brutal Ork horde and deadly Eldar warhost join the battle for the entire galaxy. Dark Millennium: The Warhammer 40,000 Collectible Card Game lets you take command of massive armies, letting you determine the fate of strategic planets in the galaxy. Flesh and steel collide as you deploy your forces and determine the strategy and tactics needed to win the battle and destroy your enemy.”

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
