BattleLore

Battlelore is a game that bridges several genres, combining various elements and aspects of cards, miniatures, role-playing and board games, without being easily pigeonholed in any category.

Epic in scope (the game recreates massive clashes between medieval armies rather than small skirmishes between a handful of heroes), the game plays quickly, with a typical adventure rarely lasting more than an hour. Deep and engaging, the game is easily set up - and packed away - nonetheless. It plays on a board map easily laid down on any table, or even on the ground, and uses pre-assembled, ready to play miniatures. As such, it is neither a roleplaying game, nor a tabletop miniature game.

Contents

• Over 210 incredibly sculpted miniatures, 20 mm in scale, detailing the various units you will get to command on the battlefield; From Dwarven crossbowmen to Hobgoblin lizard riders, 14 different sculpts and 58 Banner Bearers are included. All miniatures come pre-assembled, complete with their banners and ready to play, all packaged in two convenient, reusable plastic blister trays. No fingers rubbed raw from wrenching plastic from sprues or hours of delicate sticker positioning required!

Organized in three parts, covering the game’s basic medieval mechanics, fantasy aspects and the world - the rulebook lays the ground for a complete game system, and sets the foundation for many adventures to come. It also includes an all-important lexicon where all of the game’s key terms and concepts are defined.
