Kings of War — Prices

Hey, board game enthusiasts! If you're into a solid miniatures wargame but without the headache of rules that feel like a quantum physics treatise, Kings of War is exactly what you need. From Mantic Games, this game is designed for you to maneuver massive blocks of miniature soldiers (those 28mm ones, you know?) across the battlefield, striving for victory. The big draw here is its simplicity and speed. Forget those overly complex rules that make you spend more time consulting the manual than actually playing. Kings of War focuses on pure fun and strategy, allowing you to challenge your opponent without needing a PhD in rule memorization. The turn structure is super innovative, with the option to use a stopwatch or chess clock to time each move. This added pressure injects a dose of adrenaline that makes Kings of War a unique experience among large-scale wargames. Units have straightforward ratings like 'Melee Attack', 'Defense', and 'Nerve', but gain personality with special abilities that characterize the diverse fantasy races inhabiting the game's world. In 2015, the 'beta' rules were updated to a full version, and you can find abbreviated rules and starter army lists (about 70% of the full ones) for download on Mantic's website. The faction list is huge, including Elves, Dwarves, Kingdoms of Men, Basileans, Forces of Nature, Forces of the Abyss, Abyssal Dwarves, Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, Twilight Kin, and Undead hordes. And if that wasn't enough, the 'Uncharted Empires' supplement brought even more options, such as The Brotherhood, Salamanders, The Herd, The League of Rhordia, The Trident Realms of Neritica, The Empire of Dust, Night-Stalker Armies, Ratkin Armies, and the Varangur. Prepare your miniatures and your strategic mind, because the battle is about to begin!
