About the game

What you do in a play session

Brace yourselves for the chill! Summoner Wars welcomes Torgan and the Tundra Orcs in their second faction iteration. This pack is a complete, battle-ready deck, featuring a new Summoner, brutal champions, common troops, icy walls for defense, and game-changing event cards. To join this frosty fight, you'll need the Summoner Wars Master Set or a Starter Set. It functions as a standalone faction, but hardcore players can mix and match the common cards and champions from this deck with existing Tundra Orcs cards, whether from the Phoenix Elves vs. Tundra Orcs starter or the Rukar's Power reinforcement pack. With 51 cards in total, including Torgan himself, champions like Grok, Ugg, and Krom, and a host of Berserkers, Shooters, and Crushers, plus events like 'For Glory' and 'Glacial Surge,' the fun is guaranteed. Oh, and don't forget the walls: 3 Wall Cards and 15 Minor Ice Wall Cards to hold off the enemy onslaught. It's a tactical card game with grid movement, dice rolling, and hand management, where each player has unique powers. Perfect for those who enjoy strategy with a touch of luck and like expanding their armies.
