Warhammer: The Old World (2024)

About this game

Fight for dominance and overcome your opponents in this tight battle game with a dark fantasy setting. Discover a bleak, war-torn world where noble knights, undead hordes, and other fantastical factions fight for power, glory, and survival. In a time of growing darkness, great armies and nameless horrors plague the lands. Heroes and monsters fight, and the horizon threatens storm... Battles in Warhammer: The Old World take place between orderly armies of troops regimented on square bases, each determined to flank, crush and overwhelm the opponent. A good general goes to war with a mix of infantry and cavalry, supported by savage monsters and powerful war machines. Choose carefully. Spells in Warhammer: The Old War are powered by the capricious winds of magic, both helping and hindering sorcerers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 4.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
