About this board game
Warstones is a tactical army-building dexterity game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Choose your units, deploy them on the battlefield, and use precise flicks to lead your forces into a fast, adrenaline-filled clash.
Dexterity is at the heart of every battle, but it is only part of the strategy. Control key areas to gain victory points, defeat enemy units, or push even the strongest opponents away from important positions.
Army building gives Warstones flexibility and room for customization. Different kinds of armies support different approaches, so players can find a force that suits their preferred style—even if flicking is not their greatest strength.
- Build your army: Select units and shape a force to match your strategy.
- Deploy and flick: Place your units, then use dexterity to influence the battlefield.
- Fight for control: Capture key areas, earn victory points, defeat opposing units, and displace dangerous enemies.
The game’s setting frames this conflict as a tense encounter between unlikely rivals. A dwarven hunter and an orc meet in a remote tavern, where painted stones, rudimentary towers, and a challenge shouted before the gathered patrons turn a dangerous bargain into the beginning of a war.
With tactical decisions, customizable armies, and direct physical interaction, Warstones combines the feel of an army-based wargame with a quicker, more immediate tabletop experience.
