About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic monster slug-fest in Titan, a classic from Avalon Hill that still draws a crowd! This game plunges you into a fantasy world where you command legions of mythical creatures on a main board (masterboard). Your goal? Recruit increasingly powerful monsters and annihilate rival armies. When combat erupts, the action shifts to secondary boards (battleboards) specific to each type of confrontation. There, fate is decided by the roll of the dice, and the victorious army returns to the masterboard with victory points, like spoils of war. These points are crucial for summoning Angels and Archangels, and most importantly: for strengthening your Titan, the supreme leader of your army. The more points you accumulate, the more invincible your Titan becomes, capable of decimating opponents with a single blow. But beware! The fall of your Titan means your complete elimination from the game. The last commander to keep their Titan standing is crowned the sovereign of all and winner of the match. Titan combines strategy, luck, and a touch of bluffing, with mechanics like dice rolling, secret unit deployment, and set collection, ensuring a tense and rewarding experience for those who enjoy a good confrontation.
