About the game

What you do in a play session

Verdict of Valor is a 1v1 fantasy skirmish game where you command a small army of 4 to 12 miniatures in fast-paced, intense battles. The best part? It's 'miniature-agnostic' — meaning you can use any miniatures you already own, as long as they fit the defined sizes (Small, Normal, Large, or Huge). Just add some special abilities (Edges), and you're ready for battle! And you don't need much space: a 20" x 20" area is enough for the carnage to begin. With simple dice-rolling mechanics and the spice of critical hits and epic failures, every match becomes a story worthy of a crowded tavern. Who will emerge as the hero or the villain?
