Hordes: High Command

About this board game

Hordes: High Command is a strategic game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes, set amid the brutal conflict of western Immoren.

Each player leads one faction of the Hordes world: Skorn, Circle of Orboros, Trollblods, or Legion of Eveblight. Guide armies of soldiers, Warlocks, and mighty Warbeasts as powerful warlords shape the course of the war through grand strategy and daring battlefield tactics.

Every faction has its own decks of faction-specific Warbeasts, units, and resources. These distinct forces give each faction a different strategic identity and create varied approaches to the struggle for control. Before each game, choose three of the five Warlocks available to your faction, making every battle an opportunity to pursue a new plan.

• Lead one of four distinctive Hordes factions.
• Use faction-specific Warbeasts, units, and resources.
• Choose three of five faction Warlocks before play.
• Build your strength throughout a season of War.
• Capture strategic locations to earn victory points.

The game unfolds across a whole season of War. Develop your strength, seize important locations, and press your advantage as the conflict spreads across the wilds of Immoren. Victory belongs to the player whose courage and cunning carry their forces to ultimate triumph.

For expanded battles and a broader setting, Hordes: High Command can be combined with Warmachine: High Command and Warmachine: High Command – Faith & Fortune. Released in 2013, it brings the armies, Warlocks, and terrible beasts of Hordes together in a focused game of conquest.
