Conquest: First Blood

Conquest: First Blood is a 2-player, fast-paced fantasy skirmish game focusing on a small force of individual models rather than large blocks of units.Players select armies and a unique scenario, then use a unique “programming” activation style to secretly stack their Command Cards face-down for the round. The goal is to be the first to score enough Victory Points by completing scenario objectives within a limited number of rounds, making it a quick but strategic experience.
