Who it's for

Two players curious about the Heroscape miniatures system who want a small, affordable entry point before committing to a bigger set.

Not for you if…

You want a large-scale battle with lots of units β€” this box is deliberately small, built for a quick two-hero skirmish rather than a full army fight.

Vibe's take

Approachable and quick to set up compared to the bigger Heroscape sets, but still a tactical hex-and-dice skirmish once the miniatures hit the table.

About this game

Battle for the Wellspring is the entry point into the Heroscape miniatures system, built for two players who've never touched a hex-tile battlefield before. Six unpainted miniatures β€” three pirates, a wizard, and two familiars β€” fight across four scenarios built around a new Wellspring water terrain piece. Everything inside is fully compatible with the wider Heroscape line, so this small box can grow into a much bigger collection later.
