About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready for another round of brawls in the Warhammer Underworlds universe? This time, we're diving into the Blackpowder's Buccaneers, a crew of Ogors led by Gorlok Blackpowder, who ended up in Harrowdeep after being sucked in by a whirlpool. Their mission? To loot everything in sight and, of course, find worthy adversaries to boost the boss's bragging rights!

This bunch is pure aggression, as you'd expect from a band of Ogors. While Gorlok dishes out heavy blows, the rest of the crew works to hinder enemies and secure treasure. It's a game for those who enjoy fast-paced action, cool miniatures, and a tactical feel that demands planning. You'll use cards to resolve conflicts and roll dice to see who comes out on top in battles, all while exploring each fighter's unique abilities.

The cool part is that, besides your own warband, you get access to universal cards that can power up any deck in Warhammer Underworlds. But heads up: the cards in this set have a different back design compared to other games in the series, so you can't mix and match them when building your deck. If you're into the Warhammer universe and don't shy away from a fight, the Blackpowder's Buccaneers are a great addition to your collection. Let's get to the fight!
