Warhammer: Diskwars throws you straight into frantic tactical battles where heroes and units are represented by disks you move and flip across the battlefield. Each round, you'll maneuver your troops, positioning them to attack and, crucially, to pin enemy disks. Pinning an opponent means they can't act, and at the end of the round, overlapping disks must resolve their conflicts. It's a game with a strong prediction and 'rock-paper-scissors' element to determine who attacks whom, but with a strategic twist in movement and the use of command cards. The cool part is that the core set comes with everything you need: terrain, objectives, and over 60 disks to start building your armies from the four iconic races. Army building is flexible, focusing on your favorite heroes. It's a game that can feature player elimination, so get ready for intense battles where one mistake can be costly. Perfect for those who enjoy the Warhammer universe and want fast, direct combat with tactical depth. ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime?
