About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a true clash of magical titans! Wizard Kings is the kind of epic battle game where the fate of entire kingdoms is decided on the battlefield. If you love classic fantasy settings—featuring elves, dwarves, orcs, and even human armies split into factions like barbarians or amazons—this is your playground. You'll command customized armies fighting for control of strategic cities and diverse terrains on maps that change every single time you play.

The real magic lies in its versatility. You can squeeze in a quick one-hour session or dive into a months-long miniatures campaign. The second edition has brought awesome upgrades, such as out-of-the-box multiplayer support and new maps that are fully compatible with the original first edition. Combat involves dice rolling and a strategic layer of secret unit deployment, so don't let your guard down—your opponent might be hiding a devastating unit just behind a hill! It's a heavyweight classic, perfect for fans of fantasy wargames that don't skimp on strategic depth.
