Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault is an action-packed combat game for
two players. Build your warband, construct your deck, and defeat your
rivals.
Shadespire was once a city of wonder and magic, a mercantile metropolis
whose rulers defied death, to the fury of Nagash. During the height of
the city’s powers, rivals, thieves and would-be conquerors were locked
away in the sprawling dungeon known as the Nightvault. After the city’s
fall, Nagash broke open the chains that bound the shackled spirits
within, giving them weapons to freeze the hearts of the living and
enough memory of their torment to fill them with hatred and jealousy.
The spectral dead delight in the chance to inflict this hatred upon the
living, and the streets of Shadespire echo to the sounds of terrifying
screams and cruel, mocking laughter...
The Game
In Warhammer Underworlds, you and your opponent pick a warband – 2 are
included in this box – and build a deck of power and objective cards.
After placing your warband on the hex-tiled game boards, you take turns
making actions – movement and attacks – until 3 phases are played.
Between actions, you can use the power cards to introduce effects and
reactions that can swing the battle in your favour; building the best
deck you can and using cunning to deploy these abilities at the perfect
time is the secret to mastering the game and dominating your foe. Merely
vanquishing your opponent’s warband does not guarantee victory –
capturing objectives, standing your ground, making the best tactical
choices and deploying the right cards at the right time will gain you
the glory points you need to win!
Once you’re familiar with the rules, games will take around 30 minutes – you’ll always have time for a rematch.
