Warhammer: Invasion

2-2 players 45-45 min 7.2 Board Game Geek Rating

Two players command Warhammer factions in strategic card warfare. Each player protects a three-zone capital while deploying cards across Kingdom, Quest, and Battlefield zones. Cards in different zones provide resources, card draws, or combat abilities. Players must balance economy building with attacking opponents' capitals. Victory comes from burning two sections of the enemy's capital through tactical resource management and combat.

Choose your race

Select one of six races: Empire, Dwarf, or High Elf (Order), or Chaos, Orc, or Dark Elf (Destruction)

Shuffle your deck

Shuffle your constructed deck and place it face down

Each player draws their starting hand of cards
