About the game

What you do in a play session

Battle Masters is a miniatures battle game where two players command epic armies in a clash between good and evil. With a giant vinyl mat (nearly 1.5m²!), you move units based on drawn cards, roll dice to resolve combat, and use strategy to overcome obstacles like rivers, marshes, and towers. The game includes over 100 detailed miniatures, featuring imperial knights, archers, ogres, and beastmen. Each match is a unique tactical experience, with hex grid movement, card drawing mechanics, and variable army abilities. Perfect for fans of fantasy-themed wargames who don't mind the initial setup!
