About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking tactical skirmish in Dungeon Command: Sting of Lolth! In this card and miniatures game, you take on the role of a cunning commander, leading your warband in epic battles against enemy forces. The objective is simple yet challenging: reduce your opponent's morale to zero or ensure they run out of creatures on the battlefield, all while keeping your own morale intact. The game is played on modular, interlocking map tiles, creating a dynamic scenario for each confrontation. You'll recruit your troops, position them strategically, and then issue orders using a clever card system. Each creature can be equipped with spells and items, allowing for deep customization and varied tactics to break your adversaries' morale. Inside the Sting of Lolth box, you'll find twelve detailed miniatures, including an assassin, a priestess, a wizard, spiders, and fearsome drow house guards, ready for action. While each Dungeon Command faction is ideal for a single player, this box offers quick-start rules that allow two players to enjoy a shorter version of the game using only the contents of this box. The Dungeon Command system was designed for two players, but with some adaptations in the advanced rules, up to four can join the battle. And the best part: Sting of Lolth can be combined with other Dungeon Command boxes, such as Blood of Gruumsh, Curse of Undeath, Tyranny of Goblins, and Heart of Cormyr, to further expand your strategic options and create even larger confrontations! Furthermore, it also integrates with the Dungeons & Dragons board game line, such as Castle Ravenloft and The Legend of Drizzt, opening up a universe of possibilities for fans of the setting.
