Description
Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught is a competitive skirmish game in which each player controls an adventuring party from one of the powerful factions of the Forgotten Realms. Parties delve into dungeons, battle rival adventurers, and confront fearsome monsters on a quest for treasure and glory.
In more detail, Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught is a scenario-based combat game in which you collect treasure, level up, and bring powerful abilities to bear using dice rolls, upgrade cards, and the new combat dial card system to keep track of the action.
The core set of Onslaught includes material for two players, including twelve characters from two factions (Harpers and Zhentarim) and a horde of monsters — 21 pre-painted figures in all.

- There's a great tension there because you never knew where the attack was going to hit next because it's a it's a pull from a bag and really a lot of fun.
- Dungeons and Dragons Conquest of Nearoth is essentially Axis and allies in Dungeons and Dragons. Instead of bombers, you've got uh dragons. Instead of tanks, you've got wizards, right?
- It does not reward turtling. You can't just sit there and build up. You've got to go out and attack. That's how you're going to score points in the game.
- This is a great light war game. Some great minis. I love the the dice you're rolling. You're rolling different kinds of dice. It's a tremendous tremendous light war game with this wonderful Dungeons and Dragons theme.
