Relicblade 2nd Edition

Relicblade is a small scale fantasy skirmish game where one player takes command of a party of heroes on their righteous quest, while the other player harnesses the brutal fury of the pig men. Brave and wicked alike are drawn to powerful relics lost in the ruins of the ancient world.

Designed by Sean Sutter, featuring fast-paced, 30-60 minute tactical battles on a 2’x2′ board. Players command small parties (4-6 figures) of heroes or monsters, utilizing a dynamic action-dice system to fight for powerful, randomly drawn artifacts in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world.
