## Description
Song of Blades and Heroes is a fantasy miniatures game that delivers fast-paced, action-packed battles. With straightforward rules, you can assemble your own band of heroes or monsters and jump into the fray in minutes. The action-point system cuts out the bookkeeping, so you can focus on what matters: strategy and thrilling dice rolls.

The game includes stats for over 180 creatures and rules to create your own, plus basic scenarios and a campaign system where your warband grows stronger after each battle. If you're into no-fuss skirmish games, this one's a gem.
