Published in 2018, this is the Retail Edition of Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire, a thrilling tactical arena combat game. It's a well - designed system for balanced, small - scale tactical battles. Even beginners can quickly pick it up, while experienced players will face a real challenge. The game rules are made for competitive play, with matches finishing in under 45 minutes on a smaller playing surface, perfect for club or tournament use. We'll support an organized play system right from the start.
The forces in this game come from various races in the Mortal Realms. Some factions get new miniatures for the first time since the Age of Sigmar. Each set has a small group of easy - to - assemble, push - fit miniatures in the style of single - pose heroes. These coloured plastic miniatures clip together, so you can start playing minutes after opening the box, no glue or paint required (though they look great painted).
The game uses unique dice and card decks, which are somewhat faction - specific. Both card decks are fully customisable, allowing you to create all kinds of ability combinations and achieve different objectives. This customisability makes each game with the same faction feel different.
We're excited to back campaigns to bring you this game. A large part of your spending on Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire will go towards backing new games on Kickstarter. If you have any questions, contact The Game Steward.


Using the game is easy. First, open the box and assemble the push - fit miniatures by simply clipping the coloured plastic pieces together. No glue or paint is needed, but you can paint them for a better look. Then, pick your faction and set up the unique dice and card decks according to the rules. The card decks are customisable, so you can create your own combinations of abilities and objectives.
Matches usually take under 45 minutes. Try to play on a smaller surface as recommended for better gameplay. This game is suitable for club or tournament play, so you can join others for more fun.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the miniatures in a dry place to avoid damage. Store the dice and cards in the box or a suitable container to prevent loss. If you paint the miniatures, use proper paints and let them dry completely. And remember, the more you play and experiment with different card combinations, the more you'll enjoy this exciting tactical arena combat game.
