About the game
Summoner Wars: Guild Dwarves vs Cave Goblins is a fast-playing fantasy card battle game pitting the siege-savvy Guild Dwarves against the fanatical, swarming Cave Goblins in the ongoing War for Itharia. Each faction deck offers a distinctive playstyle: Dwarves rely on powerful siege units, while Goblins overwhelm with cheap, numerous troops. Players summon units, cast events, and maneuver on a shared battle grid to destroy the opposing summoner. This starter set includes two complete faction decks, making it a great entry point into the Summoner Wars line.
Hobbli's Notes
Hobbli's editors like how immediately distinct the Dwarves and Goblins feel to play, giving new players two clearly different strategic approaches right out of the box. It's a great low-cost entry point into the wider Summoner Wars ecosystem of factions.
