About the game
From the publishers website: Triumph and Treachery is a Warhammer supplement which features rules for playing 3, 4, or even 5 player games of Warhammer. It's a totally new way to play, allowing you and your friends to bribe your enemies, hire mercenaries to bolster your armies and carry out all manner of underhand tactics. Anything goes in the quest to win the war! This 96-page, full-colour, hardback book includes: A history of the underhand tactics employed by devious generals to defeat multiple opponents. Full rules for playing multiplayer games of Warhammer. 3 new Triumph and Treachery scenarios. 3 historical scenarios featuring the background to the battle; an overview of each army; scenario rules; and an order of battle showcasing the miniatures used on each side. Also included is a deck of 36 beautifully illustrated Treachery cards that allow you to employ all sorts of nefarious bribes and ploys in your games. There are also 5 player turn cards. As well as this there is a drawstring bag containing victory tokens. These provide a handy method of keeping track of each player's victory points throughout the game (and can also be used for other things, such as bribing an opponent or hiring mercenaries). All of this is presented in a slipcase to keep the book, cards, and victory tokens together.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Warhammer: Triumph & Treachery for ages 8 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.
Warhammer: Triumph & Treachery has a complexity rating of 4.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game.
