About the game
Dragonlance: Warriors of Krynn plunges you headfirst into the heart of an epic conflict, where you and your friends take on the roles of brave heroes against the fearsome Dragon Army. This cooperative adventure and strategy game unfolds in the classic Dragonlance setting, a universe renowned for its grand wars and military battles. The core idea is that Dragonlance is, above all, a war story, and this game perfectly captures that essence. You'll find yourself maneuvering between intense battlefields and crucial adventure locations, all to turn the tide of war in favor of your allies. The coolest part is that, while it's a wargame with massive combat, it doesn't forget the narrative. It features many elements reminiscent of an RPG, creating a rich and immersive experience. And if you're already a Dungeons & Dragons fan, there's a bonus: the game is designed to integrate with characters from the Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen adventure (sold separately or in the Deluxe Edition), further expanding your strategic and narrative possibilities in the world of Krynn.
