About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're into gritty urban chaos and gangs fighting for survival in the depths of an industrial hive, Necromunda: Underhive is your calling! This version is a modern rework of the 1995 classic, providing everything you need to dive into the dark streets of Necromunda without unnecessary fluff. The box is a treasure trove of content: it features a full board representing the sewers and narrow passages of the Underhive, along with rules, character cards, dice, and, of course, the stars of the show: the miniatures.
The gameplay focuses on fast-paced skirmishes between iconic gangs. You can choose between House Escher, with their agile and lethal warrior-women, or House Goliath, composed of genetically modified brutes built for heavy combat. The real highlight here is the customization. The miniatures are multi-part kits, meaning you can build your squad exactly how you want, choosing from classic weapons to improvised industrial gear or exotic chemical weapons.
The game system is designed to be dynamic. Using action points and a modular board, every encounter offers a new chance to test your positioning and combat strategies. The setup is streamlined enough to allow for quick sessions, yet deep enough to capture the classic skirmish spirit of the franchise. It's the perfect entry point for those who want the essence of Necromunda without needing a mountain of rulebooks before taking your first shot. Ready your weapons, pick your house, and try to survive the Underhive!
