About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to turn the battlefield into a literal garden of horrors! With the Fungal Dwarves faction deck for Summoner Wars (Second Edition), you take control of a colony where death isn't the end, but rather the start of something far more sinister. The strategy here revolves around a fascinating cycle of growth and decay: as your units fall, they fuel the expansion of new creatures, creating an endless wave of spore warriors that can overwhelm the enemy summoner.
The heart of this faction is Kuldak. He isn't just a leader, but the centerpiece of the entire fungal machine. Kuldak possesses the unique ability to convert the death of nearby allies into growth, ensuring your colony remains strong and resilient even under heavy pressure. If you enjoy playstyles that focus on swarming the opponent with sheer numbers and complex regeneration synergies, the Fungal Dwarves are your perfect match.
Keep in mind that this product is a faction deck, meaning you'll need the Summoner Wars (Second Edition) base game to play. The experience is highly tactical, requiring you to carefully manage grid positioning to maximize Kuldak's effects and ensure that one soldier's decay becomes the next one's strength. It's the ideal blend of area control and resource management, all wrapped in an organic and bizarre fantasy theme that brings a fresh strategic flavor to the table.
