About the game
BattleLore: Second Edition is a two-player fantasy battle game set in the world of Terrinoth, pitting the Daqan Lords against the demon-worshipping Uthuk Y'llan. Using the Command & Colors system, players muster armies of unique figures, build custom scenarios and maps each game, and play lore cards to turn the tide of battle. Detailed miniatures, modular map overlays, and army customization mean every match feels fresh. It's a rich, tactile tactical wargame wrapped in an evocative fantasy setting.
Hobbli's Notes
BattleLore Second Edition brings Richard Borg's trusted Command & Colors system into a fantasy setting with excellent production values: the modular maps and army customization give it real longevity for wargaming fans. It asks for a bigger table and time investment than most family games, but tactical miniatures fans will find it very rewarding.
