BattleCON: Wanderers of Indines is a board game released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 25 minutes per game, and ages 9 and up. It was designed by D. Brad Talton, Jr. and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Point to Point Movement.
An official, contest-driven expansion to the BattleCON universe! BattleCON: Wanderers was originally announced in January 2013 as a stretch goal in the Devastation of Indines campaign, and after the goal was met, Level 99 committed to creating a future, fan-driven BattleCON set. Submissions opened in April 2014 and closed in October 2014. Each person was allowed up to 3 character submissions (with only 1 character per person allowed to win), detailing their character's appearance, lore and play style. Finalists were chosen by the Level 99 team to be turned into full, tournament legal characters in their own boxed set! This set will be standalone with its own box, board, rulebook and characters, the same size as BattleCON: Fate of Indines. The set will be completely compatible with all previously released BattleCON sets as well. All winners have been notified and many have made themselves and their winning submissions known, but they have not yet all been officially listed.
BattleCON: Wanderers of Indines supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists BattleCON: Wanderers of Indines for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
