About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're looking for a gateway into the miniature combat universe without having to read a three-hundred-page manual, you've just found your new obsession! The Grimdark Future: 2-Player Starter Set is the perfect kit for those who want to dive straight into the action without the fluff. The real game-changer here is the 'One Page Rules' philosophy: the system is so straightforward that you can grasp the basics of combat in the blink of an eye, which is a lifesaver for beginners.
This set is a true all-in-one package. You won't need to rush out to buy separate armies to start playing; the kit comes with two complete 32mm scale forces ready for battle: the Saurian Starhost and the Robot Legions. It's the ideal setup for intense two-player duels, though the system also allows for solo play if you're feeling a bit more solitary.
Beyond the miniatures, you get everything essential for battle: dice to decide your troops' fate, tokens to track actions, various missions to keep gameplay dynamic, a playmat to organize the battlefield, and, of course, the core rules manual, which is famous for being incredibly concise. It's the complete sci-fi wargame experience, featuring that gritty 'grimdark' vibe of survival and destruction, but with an agility rarely found in larger-scale games. Get your troops ready, pick your side, and let the dice decide who will dominate the battlefield!
