About the game
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Bladeborn is a fast-paced game of warband battles for two players. Take command of a band of savage warriors and use your fighters' unique strengths to dominate your rivals amid the hazardous wastes of the Bloodwind Spoil. Only one warband can seize victory and win a chance to serve in the marauding armies of Archaon the Everchosen – will you rise to the challenge? Khagra the Usurper and her followers yearn for the attention of the Dark Gods and mean to take their rightful place in the Everchosen's ranks. Though it was her sister, the sorcerer Zarshia Bittersoul, who first led this warband, Khagra's ambitions reach far indeed. The Godsworn Hunt are the greatest champions of the Tribe of the Black Fang, each one a hardened killer who has earned their name through bloody deeds. They are guided by searing visions of conquest revealed to the God-speaker Theddra Skull-Scryer, through a combination of ruthlessness and awesome displays of gods-given power. —description from the publisher
