Questions and answers
Epic Swordwind supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
Epic Swordwind belongs to these categories: Fighting, Wargame, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Area Movement and Dice Rolling. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Epic Swordwind are: Jervis Johnson and Matt Keefe. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Epic Swordwind as an expansion for Epic Armageddon. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Epic Armageddon to use it. Check that your edition of Epic Armageddon is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
