Sellswords & Spellslingers (2018)

About this game

Sellswords and Spellslingers is a solo and cooperative fantasy miniatures game for 1 to 6 players. Each player creates a party of fantasy adventurers with a point system. Then players choose a scenario and try to complete a mission. Foes and events are moved automatically by a deck of cards. Characters grow with experience, and a list of campaign activities is provided. The game is sold as a pdf set of rules and requires printing a deck of cards. There are mechanical similarities to Song of Blades and Heroes, by the same author.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 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.
