About this game

Build 3D terrain from interlocking hex tiles, then battle across it with an army of painted miniatures spanning every era and genre. Roman legionnaires fight alongside futuristic robots, samurai face dragons, and WWII soldiers clash with alien warriors. The terrain-building alone is half the fun, creating mountains, rivers, and castles before a single die is rolled. Combat is simple: roll attack dice vs. defense dice. But unit abilities, height advantage, and tactical positioning create genuine depth. A sandbox battle game that sparks imagination.
