What to Expect
Engage in intense duels managing your kingdom, completing quests, and attacking the enemy's capital. Choose from six factions like Dwarves, Orcs, or Chaos, each with unique playstyles. The three-zone capital layout influences your resources, card draws, and defense. Expect strategic hand management and variable player powers shaping each match.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed exclusively for two players, this game suits experienced players looking for a strategic deck-building experience. Suitable from age 13 with a game duration around 45 minutes, it requires familiarity with resource management and card game tactics.
How It Works
Warhammer: Invasion combines hand management and variable player powers. Players construct decks with monsters, heroes, spells, and buildings to generate resources, draw cards, and attack. The capital is divided into three zones, each serving different functions. The game ends when two of your capital’s zones are destroyed.
