Description
In Conquest For The Capital, 4 asymmetric factions fight to control the capital city and its sorcerous throne.
For eons, the human sorcerer-kings have banished you from your homeland. But with the death of the last sorcerer-king, you now return to reclaim these ancient lands.
You have only five turns before neighbouring kingdoms intervene—or a new bloodline of sorcerers rises. It’s up to you to lead your faction to supremacy.
Play as one of these 4 factions, the Reckless Orcs, Cunning Elves, Fortifying Dwarves, and Inevitable Undead in a deathmatch against the Humans and each other.
With simultaneous turns and hidden movement, you must use your cunning and strategy to be the first to Conquer The Capital!

- Have you ever wanted to jump into a fantasy area control with simultaneous movement?
- Chaotic Good is a place tucked into Upper Westside in Manhattan. They're not really selling that many board games. Rather, they're pushing more of the coffee and third place idea.
- I'm going to pick a favorite between those two, but those are the two that stuck out.
- Game Story as my number one.
