About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand your epic battles in BattleLore with the "Bearded Brave" expansion! This little gem adds six types of Iron Dwarf units, each with their own miniatures and reference cards, ready to jump into action. Imagine having Bear Riders and Mighty Bolt Throwers in your army! These dwarves can boost your forces in pre-made adventures or be recruited into custom armies, especially if you have the "Call to Arms" expansion.

With 40 new miniatures, 27 cards, and a rulebook featuring 4 new adventures, "Bearded Brave" guarantees plenty of new content to spice up your BattleLore games. The fun gets even better with the possibility of playing in campaign mode, where battle cards set the pace of the conflict, or customizing your army with unique powers for each troop type. Dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability, and the modular board ensures each battle has a different setup. It's a feast for those who enjoy wargames with a medieval fantasy theme, especially for fans of the BattleLore series looking for more tactical options. Just be aware: the game requires a good command of English, as a full translation is necessary to fully enjoy all the nuances of the cards and rules.
