Description

Sythopian Wars is a brand new, science fantasy, tabletop wargame.

Players take control of unique armies made up of terrifying miniatures, each with their own distinct rules defined by their lore in this original setting. This fast-paced, brutal wargame rewards tactical play over dice rolls and your ability to act, and react to your opponent's moves, turning the game into a tactical dance as players shoot simultaneously, dive into cover or charge into the enemy before they can unleash their firepower. Beware however that there are pros and cons to every tactic, as reacting to everything leaves you constantly playing second fiddle to your opponent. With alternating activation, immersive combat and quick to learn basic rules, Sythopian Wars should appeal to both hardened wargamers and newcomers alike. Sythopian Wars, in the beginning, the world ended!
