Dragon Rampart

Whether you’re a nameless Dark Lord looking to conquer the known world, a Champion of Light holding out against the forces of evil or a Northern barbarian facing claimants to a stolen throne, Dragon Rampant allows you to bring those battles to the tabletop. Developed from the popular Lion Rampant system, Dragon Rampant is a standalone wargame that recreates the great battles of Fantasy fiction. Scenarios, army lists, and full rules for magic and monsters give players the opportunity to command unruly orc warbands, raise armies of the undead, campaign across an antediluvian world as the warchief of a barbarian tribe, or exploit the power of mighty creatures and extraordinary sorcery. An army usually consists of 6-8 units comprised of 6-12 individually based figures. These small units move and fight independently, assuming that they follow your orders rather than just doing their own thing. Command and control is just as important on the battlefield as the power of a troll chieftain or the magic of an archmage.

  • Fantasy Wargaming: 
    The system is designed to recreate epic battles from fantasy fiction, allowing players to lead orc warbands, undead armies, barbarian tribes, or other fantastic forces. 

  • Command and Control: 
    Players use an “I-go-you-go” activation system, where they attempt to activate a unit to move, attack, or shoot by making a dice roll. A successful roll allows the action, while a failed roll may pass the turn to the opponent. 

  • Magic and Monsters: 
    The game includes full rules for magic and monsters, with special rules for creatures and powerful spellcasters to add a fantasy flair. 

  • Standalone Ruleset: 
    Dragon Rampant can be played on its own, but it is also a standalone game from the popular Lion Rampant system. 

  • Flexibility: 
    It’s a flexible and engaging system with quick turns and the potential for swingy outcomes, making it an accessible fantasy sandbox.
