Get ready to command your troops in intense tactical combat with Dungeon Command: Curse of Undeath! This is a skirmish game featuring miniatures and cards, where you take on the role of a commander leading an undead faction. The battlefield is set up with interlocking modular tiles, creating unique scenarios for each game. Your mission? Break your opponent's morale, reducing it to zero, or leave them without creatures on the board.
Each turn is a strategic opportunity. You recruit and position your creatures, using order cards to dictate their actions and equip them with spells and items. Managing your hand of cards is crucial, as it defines your tactical options and how you will maneuver your forces to dominate the enemy. The Curse of Undeath box comes with twelve incredible miniatures, including skeletons, liches, and dracoliches, ready for battle.
While each Dungeon Command box focuses on one faction for a single player, quick-start rules allow two people to play a shorter version using only this set. The game is primarily designed for two players, but with some adaptations in the advanced rules, up to four can participate. And best of all: Dungeon Command: Curse of Undeath can be integrated with other Dungeon Command line boxes, such as Blood of Gruumsh or Sting of Lolth, and even with Dungeons & Dragons board games like Castle Ravenloft and The Legend of Drizzt, further expanding your strategic options and fun!
