About this board game
Necromunda is a futuristic miniature skirmish game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 30 minutes. Designed by Games Workshop’s designers, it focuses on small gangs fighting for supremacy in the dangerous hive underworld.
Each game contributes to a larger campaign experience. As more battles are played, gangs can advance and become better equipped, creating a sense of ongoing development beyond a single skirmish.
Victory depends on building a gang capable of ruling the Under Hive. Successful gangs gain valuable improvements that can help them in future games, giving the campaign a clear sense of progression.

The campaign system is the defining feature of Necromunda. Rather than treating every battle as an isolated contest, it allows gangs to develop over time as they earn resources and gain new capabilities. Those improvements can help determine which gang ultimately rises to power.
Released in 1995, Necromunda combines the focused conflict of a miniature skirmish with a well-made campaign structure. Its setting in the hive underworld provides the backdrop for repeated fights as gangs compete to establish dominance.
For players seeking a compact futuristic skirmish game with meaningful gang advancement, Necromunda offers a campaign-driven path from one battle to the next. Fight, improve your gang, gather skills, money, and weapons, and pursue supremacy in the Under Hive.
