About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive headfirst into the StarCraft universe in a whole new way! StarCraft: Tabletop Miniatures Game is Blizzard's bet to bring all the action and strategy of the classic RTS to your table, transforming the digital experience into a breathtaking miniatures game. The idea is to take those elements we love so much in the video game and adapt them to a physical format, with well-designed mechanics that promise to be innovative.
In this game, you will command one of the iconic races – Terrans, Protoss, or Zerg – in epic battles. And yes, the proportion of miniatures follows the logic of the original game: Terrans will have a considerable number of units (like 30 to 40 per side), Protoss a bit fewer, and Zerg, as expected, will come in even larger hordes. The coolest part is that the game comes with a completely new and exclusive line of miniatures, which is already a treat for collectors and fans of the franchise. Matches promise to be intense, with player elimination being a real possibility, and the need to use command cards and build your deck to dictate the pace of war. Furthermore, expect scenarios and missions that can unfold into complex campaigns, with variable player powers and, of course, plenty of dice rolling to add that spice of uncertainty and excitement to combat.
