Howard's Conan legend. One player commands opposing forces, while others take on roles like Conan and his allies, each with unique abilities. Set in diverse scenarios—pictish villages, underground temples, or pirate ships—the game blends area movement, dice rolling, and variable player powers. Heroes spend 'gems' to act, using colored dice (red, orange, yellow) that reflect their skills. The antagonist manages units via sliding tiles and limited energy, adding strategic depth. With 115 plastic miniatures, equipment cards, and a scenario book, it offers rich storytelling. Perfect for adventure and fantasy fans, though it requires balancing teamwork and individual strategies. The collector's edition includes all original Kickstarter stretch goals, making it a must-have for Conan enthusiasts. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 2-5 players, best with 3-4 for balanced strategies. ### How long does a game take? 60-120 minutes, depending on scenario and player count. ### Is it hard to learn?
