Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault

About this board game

Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault is a tactical combat game for 2 players, with games listed at around 60 minutes. Choose a warband, build a deck of power and objective cards, and battle across hex-tiled boards in the haunted city of Shadespire.

Two warbands are included: Stormsire’s Cursebreakers, a trio of Stormcast Eternals, and the seven fighters of the Thorns of the Briarqueen, a Nighthaunt warband. Their push-fit miniatures require no glue, making it easy to begin assembling your force and prepare for battle.

Players alternate actions such as movement and attacks across three phases. Between actions, power cards can introduce effects and reactions that change the course of the fight, while objective cards reward careful positioning and tactical decisions.

• Build and play: Use the included pre-built decks of power and objective cards.
• Fight for glory: Capture objectives, hold your ground, and defeat rival fighters to earn glory points.
• Master the battlefield: Work around lethal hexes, scatter mechanics, and magical spells.
• Explore more formats: Matched Play supports competitive games, while additional rules allow multiplayer battles with two core sets.

Victory is not guaranteed simply by destroying the opposing warband. The best timing, clever card use, and control of objectives are equally important, creating a contest where every activation can matter.

The box includes game boards, fighter cards, dice, tokens, a scatter template, two complete warbands, pre-built decks, and rulebooks. With its blend of miniature combat, deck construction, and objective-driven play, Warhammer Underworlds: Nightvault offers a focused battle experience in the cursed ruins of Shadespire.
