Read the full game description
Dragon Pass is a strategic fantasy wargame set in Greg Stafford’s world of Glorantha and a revised edition of White Bear & Red Moon. Rival factions maneuver armies, tribes, heroes, and immense magical creatures across a hex map, using diplomacy to recruit independent peoples before committing to battle. Movement points and terrain shape every campaign, while dice-driven combat and special powers give legendary units a presence far beyond ordinary troops. The game’s scenarios range from focused clashes to a broad contest for the region, blending classic operational wargaming with a setting whose alliances, gods, and monsters make every front feel distinct.
