About this board game
Warhammer: Diskwars is a fast-paced tabletop battle game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Set amid the constant warfare of the Warhammer Old World, it brings heroes and units to the battlefield as disks representing the forces of four races.
Movement and positioning are at the heart of every conflict. To activate a disk, flip it end over end to move it across the battlefield, position it for an attack, or interact with terrain and other disks it overlaps.
Overlapping disks create a crucial tactical opportunity. When one disk covers another, the disk on top is pinning the disk below, preventing the pinned disk from activating. At the end of the round, overlapping disks must fight, so careful maneuvering can trap enemy units while protecting your own.
- Activate disks by flipping them end over end across the battlefield.
- Use positioning and overlapping to pin opposing units.
- Fight at the end of the round wherever disks overlap.
- Build armies around heroes using flexible army-building rules.
By combining movement, attacks, terrain interactions, and well-timed pins, players compete to strike down opposing forces, seize control of the battlefield, and win the day. The updated Warhammer setting gives these battles a distinct identity while keeping the focus on direct tactical decisions.
Unlike the original collectible Diskwars, Warhammer: Diskwars moves away from the blind-buy model. Its Core Set includes everything needed to play, including more than sixty disks, terrain cards, objectives, command cards, and additional game contents for battles involving its four races.
