Waken The Storm is an expansion for The Sword and the Flame released in 2005 for 2 players and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Larry V. Brom and Christopher Ferree and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
Currently in the blind testing phase, Waken The Storm uses the game mechanics of Larry Brom's The Sword And The Flame (with modifications) to let gamers play out fantasy battles using miniatures on the tabletop. The game will include rules for units consisting of various fantasy races, including goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres, dragons, hobbits, elves and dwarves. The game is expected to be available in winter 2005.
Waken The Storm 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.
The catalogue lists Waken The Storm for ages 12 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.
Waken The Storm belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Miniatures, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are 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 Waken The Storm are: Larry V. Brom and Christopher Ferree. 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 Waken The Storm as an expansion for The Sword and the Flame. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need The Sword and the Flame to use it. Check that your edition of The Sword and the Flame is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
