What you do in a play session
In Warhammer Underworlds: Dreadfane, you step into the cursed arenas of the Mirrored City, where mighty champions clash in strategic and intense battles. Each player commands a warband of warriors, represented by incredibly detailed miniatures, and must use cunning tactics to defeat their opponent. The game combines deck building, dice rolling, and grid movement, creating a dynamic and twist-filled experience. Prepare to enhance your skills, equip your warriors with unique upgrades, and lead them to victory. But beware: Dreadfane is relentless, and every decision could be the difference between glory and defeat.
