Read the full game description
Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard begins a streamlined edition of Games Workshop’s competitive arena skirmish. Two players choose asymmetric warbands, deploy them across paired hex boards, and alternate activations to move, charge, guard, and attack. Four complete Rivals decks let newcomers play immediately, while the Nemesis format mixes two decks for deeper construction. Objectives reward more than raw elimination, so positioning, card timing, and glory management remain decisive across a compact three-round battle.
