SAGA Rulebook (2nd Edition)

About this board game

SAGA Rulebook (2nd Edition) is a skirmish game for 2–6 players, with a listed play time of 320 minutes, in which heroic Warlords lead warbands into battle.

Set your SAGA in a heroic age drawn from history, mythology, or the imagination of writers. Each player takes control of a warband of roughly thirty figures, led by a heroic alter ego whose determination, courage, and strength can shape a lasting legend.

Warbands are selected from available SAGA factions. Each faction has its own Battle Board and SAGA dice, granting particular abilities in battle while reinforcing its identity. These tools help distinguish the forces taking part in the conflict and support the game’s focus on exceptional warriors.

The rulebook presents SAGA’s simple, innovative basic rules, supported by numerous examples. Designed to apply across the different universes that can be explored, these rules are the foundation for creating battles and stories in a wide range of heroic settings.

• Skirmish battles led by heroic Warlords
• Warbands of approximately thirty figures
• Historical, mythological, and fictional heroic ages
• Faction-specific Battle Boards and SAGA dice
• Basic rules illustrated with examples

Once you have learned the rules, choose a SAGA Universe, assemble your figures, and begin writing your legend. SAGA Rulebook (2nd Edition) contains the core rules only; it includes no Battle Boards or Armies, which must be obtained from the first supplement.
