About the game
What you do in a play session
The rules are the result of years of refinement by the global community, focusing on being accessible to newcomers while remaining deep enough for wargame veterans. Movement is measured with physical templates, and line of sight is crucial to ensure your arrows or charges hit the right target. It is a visceral skirmish game where every decision by your Warlord can mean glory or oblivion on the battlefield. A vital note: this book is the engine of the system. It contains the fundamental mechanics, but it does not include the battle boards or specific army lists—you will need to purchase the universe supplements to get access to the complete factions and their dedicated components. If you enjoy building your own story through clashes of steel and courage, SAGA is the system that will keep you hooked for years. Ready your miniatures, choose your side, and prepare to write your own legend in the annals of history.
