About the game
Conan: Giant Wolves is a 2016 expansion that adds an epic twist to the Conan universe, featuring giant wolves that Overlords can use to crush the toughest prey – and even heroes! The game supports 2 to 5 players and lasts around 60 minutes, though the dynamic can stretch the playtime a bit. Area movement allows miniatures to move across board regions, while the cooperative nature forces the crew to band together against looming danger. Dice rolling decides who lands the hit, who falls, and who stays out, and variable phase order keeps surprises each turn. If a player loses all their pieces, they face elimination, ending the game – raising the stakes and making every choice count. Variable player powers give each participant unique abilities, creating a mix of strategies that shift each game. The expansion emerged from a Kickstarter campaign and is an official “ADD ON” for the base game. Components include 6 tiles (3 in French and 3 in English) and 10 plastic miniatures, all of high quality and detail that bring the setting to life. If you love miniature combat games with tactical depth, fantasy flair, and a dash of Conan lore, this game is a must‑try. Get ready to feel the adrenaline of battling a giant gray wolf while working as a team to survive the chaos.
