This is the board game take on the PC strategy classic Heroes of Might and Magic III, released in 2024. You move heroes across the land of Antagarich, explore adventure maps built from hex tiles, collect resources and fight tactical battles with detailed miniatures. Will you stand with Queen Catherine Ironfist against the lurking chaos, help the power-hungry Mutare plot her draconic future, or side with Sandro and spread the shadow of death? Scenarios can be competitive, cooperative or solo, each with its own victory conditions, and the game includes campaign-style play. Expect a long, miniature-heavy fantasy adventure, about two hours a session, for one to three players ages 14 and up.

Who it's for

You loved the Heroes of Might and Magic video games and want that world with miniatures and a real campaign feel.

Not for you if…

You want something short and simple. This is a long adventure with a lot of components and rules.

Vibe's take

Epic and long-winded in the best sense: you roam, build up your hero and army, then clash with miniatures on hex battlefields. Expect the feeling of a campaign more than a quick duel.
