Wage war in the Dungeons & Dragons world.

War has come to the Dungeons & Dragons world! In the north, the undead legions of the Dark Empire of Karkoth march against the fragile League of Nerath, determined to sweep away the human kingdoms forever. To the south, the infernal Iron Circle launches its own goblin hordes in a campaign of conquest against the elves and corsairs of Vailin. From the snowy expanse of the Winterbole Forest to the sun-warmed coasts of ancient Vailin, four great powers struggle for survival.

Muster armies of footsoldiers, siege engines, monsters, and dragons to attack your enemies. Fight across the waves with fleets of warships and raging elementals. Plunder ancient dungeons with bands of mighty heroes, searching for magical artifacts and awesome treasures that might tip the scales of battle in your favor. The fate of empires is in your hands!

"Dungeons & Dragons: Conquest of Nerath, whilst very similar to some exisiting games out there, offers a number of new gameplay elements, events cards and dungeon raids. These make the game sufficiently different to warrent owning both Conquest of Nerath and another game of it’s type (Risk or Axis and Allies).

Conquest of Nerath comes with a large number of game components and the plastic storage tray supplied inside the box is very welcome.

The core game rules are simple but allow for strategic depth and winning the game requires significant forethought to ensure that you don’t leave yourself overstretched.

On the downside, the game takes quite a while to set up and players will often find that they have insufficent playing pieces for their game included in the box.

Obviously this game will be a big hit with fans of D&D, who may well choose this game ahead of Risk or Axis and Allies, simply due to the setting, , not a bad thing in this case.

All the talk of game mechanics and so on has so far missed the one thing that stands out more than any other after a fews plays of this game… It is great fun to play. The game starts quickly, plays fast and random elements such as event cards throws up suprises making the game unpredictable and a players fortunes can turn around quite quickly at times. This makes for a fun game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, highly recommended."
