Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl is an expansion for Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard released in 2024 for 2 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Card Play Conflict Resolution.
The Jaws of Itzl were once part of a grander warhost sent against the Skaven. Yet a terrible cave-in saw most of the Seraphon buried, including their Starmaster. Only the blessed Kro-Jax, a living wellspring of ferocious Azyrite energy, and a handful of his reptilian fellows escaped. Kro-Jax receives intermittent telepathic commands from the trapped Starmaster, but magical interference from emberstone leaves them scrambled. The Sunblood attempts to heed these orders regardless, even if they drive him to seemingly nonsensical or ferociously violent acts. Saurus Oldblood Kro-Jax, the Aegis, leads this savage Seraphon warband across Embergard. Two brutal Saurus unleash their reptilian rage by his side – mace-wielding So-Kar, and the terrifying Ro-Tak, the Guardian, with their long-spear. These three mighty warriors are accompanied and assisted by a congregation of small venomous creatures known as Sotek's Venomites. The Jaws of Itzl are a Strike-style warband which would synergise well with a Strike Rivals deck (available separately). This kit includes a full Jaws of Itzl warband for use in games of Warhammer Underworlds, along with fighter cards and warscroll cards for the warband. This set contains 4 plastic miniatures: 1x Kro-Jax, the Aegis 1x So-Kar 1x Ro-Tak, the Guardian 1x Sotek's Venomites This set also includes: 4x double-sided fighter cards 7x warscroll cards (in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese) The double-sided fighter cards measure 63mm x 88mm, and the double-sided warscroll cards measure 106mm x 145mm. This kit contains 19x components, including 4x integrated scenic bases, in green pre-coloured plastic. —description from the publisher
Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl 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 listed playing time for Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl 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.
Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Dice, and Miniatures. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Card Play Conflict Resolution. 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 catalogue lists Warhammer Underworlds: Jaws of Itzl as an expansion for Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Warhammer Underworlds: Embergard to use it.
